As usual Mrs TTN and I attended the annual Remembrance Sunday service at Wendron Parish Church here in West Cornwall. It's a typical rural church with a small congregation, and the experience is a million miles away from Whitehall, but nevertheless very moving. A nice touch is the local police always stand by and close the road which passes the churchyard for the period of the two minutes silence out by the war memorial. Motorists had a longer than usual wait this year as the vicar got lost in contemplation and waited at least three minutes before giving the nod to the buglers to mark the end of the silence!

Landlocked - "I was only a ground tradesman"? No "only" about it - everybody had/has their job to do, from FJ pilot to cook!
