We will remember them

Always.

We are forever in their debt. I must admit that here in Canada they give Remembrance Day full honours.

Some Schools are making an effort to teach the kids about it now, Which will be a big step towards Keeping it remembered

teach the kids to remember

good program on tonight, the Lancaster Bomber at 80. These planes have a very sweet sound as 4 merlin engines sing in harmony as they fly over, Just imagine the sound of 1000 of these bombers over head and knowing anytime soon they are going to drop thousands of bombs on your town, horrific,

You don't need bombers to destroy the town centre.The council will do it in the name of progress.

Hear hear.

Marvellous. Simply Marvellous.

Well Done to Winwick School, This morning I was out bike riding and at 11 Am I was passing Winwick St Oswalds Parish Church where I stopped for the 2 minutes silence, The skool teechers had led all the children into the church for the service, It caused a massive tailback of traffic as they crossed the road, So it was a double whammy, Its teaching the kids and also forcing the motorist to pay respect,

good on em,,

Well done to all concerned.

God Bless them all.
