Thing - There appears to be growing support for the forces over the last few years if the evidence in the collecting tins for the Annual RAFA "Wings" Appeal and the RBL Collections is anything to go by locally. Also for the last 4 years or so at the end of the Wreath Laying Service in Ely on Remembrance Sunday the spectators have broken into spontaneous applause as the Regulars, Reservists, Veterans and Cadets have marched off the parade. Quite difficult to shout orders and see where you are going when you have a lump in your throat and dust in your eye!
Long may the applause continue, the boys and girls in the Forces face down many dangers in our name and deserve all the gratitude we can give them.
