Another very good ceremony in Wallingford yesterday, very well done by all concerned. The SWO was very much in charge, and it ran smoothly, and to the second. The Puma and Merlin flypast was bang on time at the end of the two minute silence. While I'm sure that communities with no Service presence run ceremonies that are just as moving, there is extra spine-tingle/tear factor when serving lads and lasses are on parade in front of you.
The only slight surprise was that the police officer laying the wreath took off his hat rather than saluted.
