Remebrance Sunday 2011

[krennon]

it really was a great day out, more shots to be posted soon. A day of emotion (Horseguards) and humour (Hyde Park)....Abers some of the usual faces (I'll try and get some shots up later this week) and some not so familiar....last couple of times I've been up there I haven't seen Lenin wonder if he's still about...our Canadian Preacher was there but had just packed up when we arrived, Diane obviously on her usual form....and haven't seen our Socialist Worker friend for a while either...a good day was had especially as the sun was shining and it was a lovely day weather wise

Went to the local service here in Southampton, both on Armistice day and on Sunday. Very moving; tears in my eyes.

Both my parents survived the Japanese camps in, what is now, Indonesia; mother was a skeleton and wouldn't have lasted much longer. She always spoke with heartfelt gratitude about 'The English' who liberated her camp. The Gurkha's being favourite!

I still feel the same gratitude to all those who served and still serve.

PS. Maybe I should explain, that for my mother's generation, everything British, was English.

If you're interested, here's a little photographic tribute I did of our local service a couple of years ago, done in memory of my late father-in-law who served in WWII and died a few weeks previously.
