Fantastic Video My Friend I Am In The March This Year 2008.

The Video You Have Here Is Perfect.

[BeardyRebel]

Many thanks indeed. I hope the march goes well for you and all who will be with you.

Kev,

Many thanks for this. I was in the RM honour guard in 1982, remembering friends lost in the Falklands, and very hard pushed to hold back the tears. It brings it all back.

Lest we Forget

Hi po32465a,

Sorry for the delay in replying but I understand how difficult it must have been for you in 1982 and ever since. It's very moving for a nobody like me who's not served but for you gallant ones, it must be incredibly moving.

Bless you,

Kev

I always get a lump in my throat when I saw the old boys, with a chest full of medals marching with pride. Tomorrow theY will be "joe public" again, but that day, they are fucking HEROS!

They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

Always think of my Dad on this Day. He fought in WW2. He would never speak of the war although I knew he had a scar on his right hand which was a bullet wound. He died in 1973 when I was 12. I've since found out he was involved in reconnaissance work in The Guards Amoured Division of The Household Cavalery and was a Corporal of Horse. This is one day when I greatly miss him.

Nice going mate. Sent a chill up my spine to see all the 'veterans' march. My friend, Clive Sanders, who in 2000 Marched at this ceremony, and represented Shefford of the RBL. I served with the USAF up in Bedfordshire from 66-68. I remember vividly passing past the sign which read, Whitehall street and Downing. God Save the Queen from an aging old Cold War vet who served beside many of you Blokes. God Bless. Vince in America

Dear sweetypieOOO,

I understand how you feel, but what could anyone have done about it? Part of the greatness of any culture is its diversity. Things change. Only the Queen is constant.

[ILDIVO281]

i will be there again in the march this year as i am every year.

[ILDIVO281]

sweetypie000 your an idiot

[sweetypie000]

we should move on.

the monuments should be removed and put in sandhurst or similar or just pulled down and crushed and something erected in their place that will be used everyday and represents Britian exactly how the Government and it's people have allowed and wanted it to become.

a nice large mosque leaps to mind

you could even use smelted down wheelchairs of pensioner war heros for the footings

Maybe the pensioners can pay for the mosque out of their pension too
