It rankles to see Tony B Liar laying a wreath for all the people he sent to their graves in Iraq.

If you haven't seen this, please watch this great man's memories of serving in the forces and the new memorial he has been so instrumental in making happen.

I have seen this a couple of times last week. What a great man he is. I wasn't happy about the Naga woman making him cry for effect though.

Like you, I am not a fan of this kind of exploitation.

They make them cry on purpose, then they cosy up to them asking if they are Ok. It makes me angry.

Re: Rememberance Service

We've just finished watching the second half that we recorded last night.

As well as the reverence and professionalism of all who took part, we were all very impressed with the floor graphics.

As an aside, we then watched the Strictly results show. The opening dance sequence was very moving, thought provoking, and very well choreographed.



Red for the blood that was spilled.
Black for the mourning of those left behind.
Green for the new growth on the fields of battle.
The leaf at eleven o'clock, symbolising the time when the guns fell silent.
