What a guy.

Loved his quote on Sky news, remembrance days are just a show of military force.

I just think of my mates.....

"The Fletcher House care home"

Think there is almost a Pink Floyd song there

May he take comfort from these few lines from "The Gunners Dream"
In the corner of some foreign field
The gunner sleeps tonight.
What's done is done.
We cannot just write off his final scene.
Take heed of his dream.
Take heed.

God rest his soul, and may he enjoy meeting his friends again. As he said "On both side's of the line"
