Whenever I see the turnout of those great citizens for our boys coming home I must admit a tear comes into my eyes.A great little Town with a big heart! --------- Don
As a standard bearer for The Royal British Legion I have been a part of these funerals for some time now Don, although mostly for the Mercian Regiment. Each time I'm minded of the day when I was a boy at Wesendorf, detailed to play Last Post & Reveille for one of our own at the Hanover Military cemetery. Fifty-five years down the line and it doesn’t get any easier mate!
There is a letter on the Letters page of today's Sun newspaper which suggests that there is a plan in parliament to drive the coffins of our repatriated service lads through the back gate of RAF Brize Norton some time in the future. If there is any truth in this story "HOW THE HELL DARE THEY EVEN THINK OF IT" This video is the true reflection of our feelings for our fallen Heroes and should be shown as far and wide as possible!!!!!!!
I am lost for words, do they have no respect for our servicemen/women, why don't they send there sons and daughters out there and let us show them no respect and see how they would like it, it is ok for them sitting there in their ivory towers, I do not remember any of them lining the street in Wootton Bassett showing there respect for all the service personel being brought back home to their families.
I have just watched the video and I'm now having difficulty in typing this comment due to the tears in my eyes, yes I'm a big softy and a ex Royal and Proud
