I was disappointed in the first 2 seconds to see the words "the enemy have pursued the British and French to Dunkirk". I felt the same when I went to see AVM Keith Park's statue when it was on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square a few year ago. His inscription went: "The defender of London, as enemy planes bombed in 1940...etc". I remember at the time thinking how confused young people would look and wonder who the enemy were...IRA? ISIS? Love Island?

That said, harrumphing dribble over, it was very moving and my kids were impressed. The gliding Spitfire at high key for a PFL moved at about Mach 2, but never mind.

Did Tom Hardy have sun deflectors / blinkers on his flying helmet?
