Remembrance Day - Royal Albert Hall

[orienteerer]

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

Yes, I know it's a reflection of cuts.

Recall - they were and I would say from their dancers - never dance with a ghurka in a nightclub if he's armed

Hope your DH stays safe , my DD has been out twice and her DP has just returned after a six month tour. Get that tense feeling in my stomach just watching this .

Only just switched over, always used to watch this with my nan who lived through both World wars. She would always cry at the end when the poppies fell.

Shame I missed the military wives choir, really wanted to see them!

Zacabird try BBC 1 mon 9pm

Ooh a few friends there

Oh thanks didn't realise it was repeated, will pop it in the planner now.

It's the choir programme this week and next week are weeks 2&3

Sorry Mrs Snaplegs, just realised you meant the program about the choir and not a repeat of this! Hasn't it finished now?

No choir programme is on next week as it's on my planner

bagpipes.... blub

Zacs- it's the poppies that always get me too, oh look a standing ovation for that lovely young gurkha.....brave boy.

I was an SCC PTI before I got ill. Always love the displays because of that.

I always find the program so moving. Apart from Katherine Jenkins. She irritates me so much. And really, a diamonte microphone..?

What a poignant lament on the pipes . Blubbing here

Welling up

Gorgeous robes the bishop is wearing.

I've sent you a FB friend request

I can't stick Katherine Jenkins either she just oozes smug.

Does anybody know why the huge poppies on the side of the screen are shapes as 90, is it an anniversary?

Its the standards that get me. And hearing the whole Hall saying the Lords Prayer. Even as not particularly religious, its so touching.

90th anniversary of RBL.

Yes Zacs 90th of the British Legion I believe, hence the big push for selling poppies this year.

The old Albert does a good concert.

Yes, 2011 is the RBL's 90th Anniversary.

A lot of cross-posting!

Sam Cam was mopping her eyes too.

I don't know how the Queen doesn't blub

My Fave hymn
