I know, I'm clutching at straws but I don't want those retired flags to feel let down by the lack of wartime musical talent.

Two years ago one of my sons and I attended the 6oth anniversity of the end of the war celebrations outside Buck House. At the end,as all the old RAF guys were walking down the Mall, Vera Lynn singing 'We'll meet again ' was playing from the loudspeakers.

Unforgettable...

If there is one thing Americans are good at, its a parade. Enjoy.

Getting back to the white cliffs of dover.........

We used to go to the Continent quite frequently, and the sight of those white cliffs coming in to view is just so powerful.

I always insisted we took the ferry rather than the train...

Sometimes I wonder whether I'll ever see them again.

I sometimes wonder if I will ever see the UK again, let alone the white cliffs
