We will remember them.
The lord mayors show is always a good watch.Will be watching the Albert Hall festival tonight and the Cenotaph tomorrow. Never miss them.
My Dad, RIP was in the 51st Highland Division, he missed that parade, having been wounded shortly after he crossed the Rhine and was casevacced back to the UK.
“The Black Watch are over the Rhine!”
It was the 51st Highland Division who spearheaded the assault into Germany - with the Black Watch and the Gordon Highlanders first to breach the borders of the Reich.
I met two young lads on the train this morning. Looked like they were army cadets. They were heading into Saltcoats to do a can collection all day in this freezing weather, tomorrow they are going back to take part in the Remembrance Day parade. They couldn’t have been any older than about 14. Very humbling.
