70th

just think about it 70 years ago the battle of britain was fought and won. summed up best by churchill "never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."
today a number of the remaining veterans of that battle came together, probably for the last time, to celebrate day, to give thanks for their victory, to give praise to fallen comrades and just to revel in the joy of life and freedom.

joyous day.

who do they get to give the salute, which royal joins them in this day of days? prince michael of kent (he is cheap - he doesn't get dosh from the state). you have to wonder what liz, phil, charlie, ann, eddie, andy, harry and wills were up to that they couldn't spare some time.

not so much taking the mick, but taking the piss.
