Today, Wednesday 21st May 2008, at 1800 ,the floral tribute was laid at the Plymouth Hoe Falklands Memorial.

The private little ceremony was very well attended by the Plymouth stalwarts. It was made even more poignant by the sight of RN/RFA ships , some at anchor , some under way, and in the background a Lynx helicopter could be heard. The Floral tribute was laid by John Foster and I recited “They shall grow not old…..”

Not very well I’ll admit because as usual the emotions very nearly got the better of me. There was another floral tribute already in position from Kevin MacDonald and family but no sign of them in the area.

We shall remember them.
