It was brilliant. The RAF Valley and Leeming Really " did him proud". The chapel was full, more outside. Full Military Honours. And I thought that I might have been on my own.!! The Vicar made a very good sermon and it all showed our great country and people what we stand for!,

What a thoroughly decent thing to do, giving this man such a fitting sendoff. This is an example of the British values which should be imparted in schools.
