Actually, yes, I would love to have a chat with him. It would be interesting to try to understand why anyone would volunteer to join the military at the present time when they are likely to be ordered to risk life and limb in pointless military adventures in far of lands.

The men who were conscripted in the World Wars were incredibly brave, as were those who volunteered to fight to save their country from a very real enemy.

Maybe he would be able to explain his motivation to me. I am sure he doesn't consider himself a hero for doing a job which he chose to do.

I strongly suspect that it would go right over your head

Went to one in Wetherby with my daughter. Weather was kinder in Yourkshire, blue skies etc. My daughter is 3, but she made me proud staying quiet during the service. Of course she didn't understand what it was all about, but she will.

My thanks go to all the past and current servicemen.

Apparently my mum was taken up onto the podium at the Old Steine on Sunday...is there any pics...Arsegas doesnt seem to have its normal glut of pics of the day.

Respect to the fallen.
Respect and hope for the future for the wounded etc.
