Skeleton - that's all in the past now, of course, with Harris on a plinth in London and Bomber Command veterans wearing their medals.

Now all we need is a Fighter Command medal

and one for Coastal Command

maybe one for the blokes on Submarines?

Trouble is when you single out one group for special treatment, no matter how deserving, someone else equally deserving will feel overlooked. Dont get me wrong, I am totally in awe of what the Bomber Command blokes went through, but I could say the same for a lot of others. That's why I always thought the idea of all the campaign stars being theatre awards was the fairest - but what do I know?

Nice memorial by the way!
