Remembrance Day - Royal Albert Hall

[orienteerer]

...is on now. Gets better every year, especially Cliff Richards.....!

bump...surely someone is watching?

...so emotional....surely I'm not the only one?

Here come the Chelsea Pensioners...

scaevola - welcome..thought I was alone...

I'm watching. And crying. Pass me a tissue, someone...

It's a bit smokey here too

Not too sure about cliff but military wives choir were fantastic!

Kleenex anyone, sobs

Joe?...cannot sing!

Oh for goodness sake , why is he warbling here.

Bring back dame Vera

DH is "out there" but as a "civi" so is truely forgotten.

I love this song and Joe has murdered it by galloping ahead with the lyrics.

Did anyone notice Millibands wife crying earlier? See we're not the only ones

Orienteerer - I'll pray he stays safe

Ah, a bit of "light infantry" marching at last.

MrsSnapLegs - thank you.

Oh no...now my favourite film...Local Hero!

It was one of the times my parents used to let me stay up late when I was little. I used to half recognise those who appeared year after year. There seem so few now - actually so few now in any part of the muster, and there are fewer military displays (I remember big PTI displays on impressively huge kit that was assembled with precision and removed so swiftly.

The entertainment part is a shadow of its former self. But the set pieces remain as moving as ever.

Gurkhas ?

recall.....what's wrong with the Gurkas?

I once heard that every time a Gurkha gets his knife out, he has to draw blood, so will nick his own finger with it if necessary before putting it back. Don't know if its true.

The double time marching was...rapid :o

Scaevola we lost most of the display teams in the last round of redundancies in 1995/6

Nothing wrong with them, I think they are great. I was just asking, are these the Gurkhas ?

Awwww love these old boys.......tearing up already.
