Remembrance Day
I had the privilege with one other MN Veteran to represent our local MN branch at the St Pauls Cathedral .We marched into the Cathedral with the Navy ,Army and the two of us carrying the Red Ensign it was a big thing to know that we are being recognized as our part played in the wars .
It was a great day with a big crowd and a few important people .
A lovely afternoon tea plus a tot of rum in .A great day all round
