World War One Remembered

[Baldric]

Just watching the above on BBC 1, we certainly know how to put on a March Past,
those that have gone before would be proud, as indeed we are of them.
I couldn't make it this year, only second time I've missed in probably the last 20 years, next year hopefully, I did make it to the local War Memorial for an hour or so.

Just saw the 97 year old American marching. (at pace}
How far do they actually march, baldric?

[retrocop]

Well done Balders.
Been a busy time for you recently .Our thoughts are the same wherever we are. Just a minute of time.

Why were the royals and the officers wearing poppies when the others in forces' uniform not?

I love all the old songs. When they all marched singing along to 'It's a Long Way to Tipperary', I confess to shedding a tear.

It was Nimrod that did it for me. Anne sometimes you can be quite unpleasant, no need for it on this post I have to say.

[Baldric]

Hi Prudie, I expected nothing less.

//How long is the Remembrance parade?

The procession covers around 2,000m and there will only be limited seating for participants beforehand.



The procession itself will take around half an hour and will start at Green Park before heading past the Cenotaph and finishing at St James’ Park.//

[Spicerack]

Ta, Retro. Not as far as I thought. Still some going at 97.

[Baldric]

Sorry Spicey, I missed that.

[anneasquith]

Lol. @ prudie.
