Remembrance Day Parade nw

I’m always impressed by the pride, discipline and respect displayed by ex-servicemen and women

Characteristics sadly missing in a not insignificant percentage of today’s population

The best of the best.

Nearly forgot, and I bet most, if not all, polish their shoes

Drove through Sellindge in Kent today. Every lamppost in the village (40-50 odd) had a poppy attached and the fence by the Sports ground had 8 or 9 wreaths tied to it and Union flag flying proud over the village. Brought a lump to the throat.

Same in a lot of the villages round here, Blandford (which has a large army history) had the last post played prior to their game Sat which always wells me up

I live in Woodhall Spa, Lincs, the home of the dam busters. Same thing here, poppies on every lamppost and a massive war memorial. Looks brilliant.

I live in Sadiq Khans London borough not a poppy in sight on lampposts where I live
