Anyone watch the RBL festival of remembrance tonight? Superb stuff
Yes. Never miss it.
Superb. Poignant. Beautifully done and tremendously moving, as always
My Mum and Dad both served in the armed forces and both my grandfathers fought in World Wars.

just got back now 1 10 am sun morning mum loved it ! I was as moved as i expected to be, the one thing different to the TV is at the end when the Poppy's fall from the roof it takes about 5 Min's for them all to fall as there is a poppy for every soldier killed since the first world war

my dad was a commando and was dropped behind enemy lines to commit "wild raids" which was basically creating havoc behind the lines to pull enemy troops away from the frontline , he did two drops and lost most of his mates , he never spoke about it until the last night we spent together alone with a bottle of teachers.......brings a tear to my eye now just recalling how matter of fact and humble he was about the whole thing . there were eight commando's at his funeral up in findon .......they were all like him , humble and accepting of what they had been asked to do........pretty sure it was a coincidence but as we stood outside the crematorium a harrier jet flew straight over us and dipped it's wings,one of the old boy's smiled and winked at me and i cried like a baby.....they were amazing old blokes and they hung around for the wake , the commando association has been very supportive of my mum since , it is one of the things that makes you truly proud to be British.

Respect to your family,we sadly lost 4 family members at the battle of Jutland and 1 in the air over Emden in 1943.Luckily two survived WW2,although they both were "affected" by the horrors they endured.

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
come on join the legion and be part of something that really can make a difference
although i am a former solder you don't have to be serving or ex forces.
just wanting to help is enough
