I have just returned from Ypres where I attended Rememberance Day at Tyne Cot and the Menin Gate. I am not ashamed to admit that I was in tears at the ceremony in the Ypres Cathedral. The following day I went to Arras where my Grand Uncle and all his young comrades in arms from the Royal Scots fell in 1917. Later that day I returned on the Eurostar to Waterloo to be greeted with a report in the London Evening Standard about some people wanting the public to boycott the wearing of poppies as an act of spite to the Bush-Blair relationship. What the hell is going on!!!!!
