What did you do to remember the Fallen?

I got stuck up a narrow back alley with a huge trailer on cos they had shut the road for a parade.

Yea I realise that now the bloomin thing hurts my head!!!!! - was at the very end of the parade mind so reckon im excused..... got a few funny looks filling up the Freelander on the way home!!
Its a really satisfying feeling seeing students appreciating what people before them have done for this country..... We have 325 CCF Students, aged 16 - 18 - 100% turn out at the parade and in excess of 600 people at our service.
Only had my commision as a CCF Officer a year but love it - get to play with some amazing kit..... off on exercise end of Nov for 2 nights, then a week long course at Frimley starting the 2nd of Jan - gonna be a cold one.
pux:
CCF is that combined cadet force???
SteveGoodz:
Give my regards to everyone at Frimley :D
I know what you mean about the hat hurting .. mine kills unless I wear it a bit on the skew :o

Todays parade was led by a Police Constable who did GMP force proud .He marched step perfect in front His uniform was perfect he was a credit to the force .Even the old soldiers commented on him.There was an old soldier who had an angina attack towards the end of the service .The vicar asked for a doctor or someone with medical training.The Fire Brigade were on parade and brought an appliance round to administer oxygen till the paramedics and an ambulance appeared.We were stood round and my daughter asked if it was finished.I explained that the parade was not over till they march off but it was on hold .An explanation and she was quite happy to wait even though it meant we were there for an hour an a half.Just behind us was a toddler of about two with her mum.She asked questions loudly all the way through.I loved it thats how the young learn.
