At least we have our memories

The man has gone but our memories remain

Our dear father passed away peacefully yesterday, no longer with us but no longer in pain

After a seven year war with the Big C, he lost the final battle but never his sense of humour

a husband of 61 years

a father to three

a grandfather to six

and a great grandfather to four

Rest in peace Dad until we meet again xxx

Lest they forget

Yesterday we spent the day in London.  Our intention was to get to see the poppies at the Tower of London before they start to be removed next week.  We decided as this has proved so popular that we would get up early and take a train arriving in London just after 7am.  It seems we weren't the only ones, and by the time we got to the Tower the crowds were already building up, though at no point did they prove a problem to photo taking.  Everyone was very quiet and respectful.  

This is a photo account of Remembrance, the rest of the day will following in other blog posts 

you can see the crowds building by the time we had got nearly all the way round

by the time we got to the South Bank you can see just how busy it was getting
