Remembrance Day - Royal Albert Hall

[orienteerer]

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

This one always gets me. Blabbing noe

Thanks Sirboobalot, obvious really but always assumed it was set up immediately after the First World War.

Blubbing now

I was doing ok until 'I vow to thee my country'.

It makes me cry.

Blubbing again

The new pin this year - I prefer to buy the pins so I don't poke DS with the needle if I get a normal one! - were in the same 90 shape. Quite nice. They do a lot of good work.

Think, without being nasty, the Queen must have been to so many of these now.

Oh the standards are down, my eyes are welling up :-(

every one of those poppies equals a loved one lost........

aww those little kids have me blubbing like a baby.

When they held his hand...

Aw, they played this hymn at my dad's funeral. Sob....

That little girl was adorable. X

Proper RAF mustache there

Really impressed by the child speaking so confidently in such an awesome environment, and promptly reduced to tears by The Day Thou Gavest, which I learnt as a teenager at my grandma's funeral.

Bugel's always do it to me.

Purple, it's a beautiful hymn isn't it? That has opened the floodgates now and I can't stop crying.

Makes me feel very humble...

Floods here too, that little Saffron was a poppet......

MrsSnaps...I spotted that tash too magnificent specimen!!

I would say see you here in the morning for the cenotaph but will be on parade

Prince Phillip really earned that rack of medals, didn't he?

Goodnight one and all and may you all live in peace

Scaevola - he was a serving RN officer in the second world war before he was engaged to the queen

Good night. Might see you back at the Albert hall for the last night of the proms

Yes, I knew that.

Scaevola sorry thought you were being sarcastic
