Other side of t'Penines, I'm afraid Mr Parabellum. Mind you, I wouldn't expect any less form a Garrison town.

I've decided to embarrass my son and go along to his school's service on Sunday morning at St Hogwart's. Apart from the names inscribed in the cloisters, many of the families of the fallen - from WWI up to very recent times, have contributed artwork, often landscapes where the 'old boys' (many just in their 20s, if that) fell. If anything, this small gesture is even more humbling, as set in the frame is a photo of the boy when he was at the school. I hope never to be in the position to hang a similar picture there myself.
