Saffmonster Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 The local parade is getting lined outside my house (I live behind a British Legion). I'm going to follow them in a bit, but here are some sneaky photos taken from my bedroom of them getting ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valhalla Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 I used to take my dad every year to the parade in the center of Oxford, it used to be great watching all the old boys marching down the road with there heads held high and medals shining in the moring sun, sadly as the years went on there ranks slowly got thinner, and scince my dad died ive not been down there, I have all my dads and grandads medals and I keep the shining for them.

Andy Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Just Got Back from taking my Step-Dad Albert to the remeberance day in High Wycombe. He's not strong enough to take part in the Parade, but still wears his regimental Jacket, Beret and medals proudly every year. He served in India and Burma during the second world war in the Kings own 2nd Fusilliers (Tank Regiment) This year my 13 year old son Joined him in his Air Cadets uniform, Albert was so proud to have him stood by his side.
