A lovely thing to happen.

Hi

An old Royal Marine, who died with no family, had a good send off today.

What particularly pleased me was the number of young people , who had not heard of him before, who attended after seeing it on Facebook.

They are not all uncaring snowflakes as some would make out.

A nice send off. It's a pity that Cambridge University students can't show the same respect to veterans.
