Once again our Service and Parade in Liverpool was a great and moving occasion. This year we had a "Giant Screen" at one end of the parade with a succesion of portraits of the Fallen showing though out the proceedings. I know it sounds tacky but it realy was very moving to see all those young, incredably young, faces staring out at us. The March Past was preceeded by a fly past by a C47 flying in awful conditions.
Also, I am very happy to report that poppy sales are considerably up, once again, in the area. There is a feeling around here that this is down to people feeling more in touch with the military today than has been the case over the past 20 years or so.
