Quite a humbling experience in today's world.
My lads school, who are doing a big project on WW1 took a group of the kids along to be part of the commemoration to a local hero.
I haven't seen as much Union Jack bunting in the streets since Lizzie's Silver Jubilee.

What a remarkable and couragous man. Good to see him being honoured, your town did him proud.
