I am going to the Field of Remembrance on Thursday with my dad. Anyone going? His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh will open this year's Royal British Legion Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey on Thursday 6th November at 11am.
It was very moving today. Wish the workmen had stopped drilling at 11 am though. There was a good turnout. And some familiar faces from last year. Saw HRH and got some pic's. Then went to the pub to toast all the fallen.
Sounds like a very rewarding but also difficult trip, as Kyt says some pics would be nice if not intrusive.
Here are some photo's. I tried to get a clear photo HRH. I also took photo's of the RAF section for my friend whose father was killed in WW2 six months before she was born. Sgt Petts
A few more photo's........... Didn't take as many this year. But we go there again next week if anyone wants a photo of a certain regiment/section. Let me know and I will gladly take a photo for you.
I believe there is a section for Far East POW's ... I wonder if you would mind stopping there for a minute Sgt ! Annie
Annie No.126, is the Far East Prisoners of War Association I will stop there for you, and take a photo. No.125 is the Far East Vet Ass. Sgt Petts
I went to the Cenotaph today, and passed by the Fields of Remembrance, and took the photo for you Annie. I have added some other too. Sgt Petts
Some more photo's, including my dad :becky: It was lovely today to see young school children there too.
