My filthy cold and I crawled into town to buy more Lemsip, Strepsils and Kleenex, before coming home to watch the Cenotaph ceremony on TV. But the turn out in Witney was most impressive - the cadets in particular looked very smart in their 21st Century cabbage kit. Many veterans and relatives also in attendance.
From about 10.40am today there will be a parade and service at the war memorial on Church Green and a service afterwards at St Mary’s Church.
I was at RAFC Cranwell in 1968 and do not recall a major commemoration on the 50th anniversary, when many WW1 veterans would still have been alive. It seems that as the Armed Forces become ever smaller, the recognition of service from others increases?
