Remembrance Service - National Memorial Arboretum

[Fortyodd2]

Have just returned from the service. It was a bitterly cold day but what a wonderful event. Thanks to all who made it so and especially to the crews of the Nimrod and the BBMF Dakota for their flypasts. Perfect. :D

Missed the start and have to ask, did I see Prince Edward in Uniform?

[chappie]

yes,it's true he was in uniform!!!

my flabber was gasted!...honorary role blah blah!!!

i wanted to be at the arboreteum but couldn't get up there as hubby wouldn't go.

instead i went to the local memorial held my little girls hand a bit too tight and the crosses we had for bob were laid there instead. i was so proud of her, cold and fed up and with a crumple faced,soggy mum she did her best, even managing for once to write in a small space on the cross for bob.

:{ oops, i'm off again!

i'm so very proud of you all.

keep the faith!

Just seen a picture of the service on Sunday at the Armed Forces Memorial. Nice to see that the sun came out at the appropriate moment so that the 2 slits in the walls could be used for their design pupose. Nice one by the architects/designers.:ok:
