Salute the Royal Air Force
Congratulations to our newest service, who celebrate 100 years today.
It's all on BBC1 this morning, service at Westminster Abbey, march up the Mall, presentation of Queen's colours, and a huge fly past approx noon.
I've just watched a remarkable interview with Squadron Leader Dick Churchill, who survived the Great Escape. He was recaptured, but the Gestapo were reluctant to execute him, as happened to 50 of the 70 odd, who got out, because of his name, and that he was possibly related to Winston.
When people are rude to you, they reveal who they are, not who you are.

Watching the flypast at Runnymede, none of that London vibe of vying for the best position.

Prince Edward must have had a busy old four months judging by the number of medals on his chest.

Did my bit 61-75. Best years of my life. Do it again in a heartbeat. Shame some of the work shy don't give it a go.

I hope the cloud base is still fairly high, as there are 100 aircraft hoping to take part, and some will be limited. Originally Posted by RandyWanger

Princess Anne never served, but wears medals, when she wears Naval uniform as Commandant of the women in the Royal Navy. Originally Posted by happypig

Not all medals are combat related, such as the more recent Jubilee medals.When people are rude to you, they reveal who they are, not who you are. Originally Posted by brighton bluenose

What are they for then? Dishing out medals for people who've never been near a battlefield is a bit too "banana republic" for my liking. Originally Posted by Thunder Bolt
