    Nice photos Kathy, you have a right to be proud.

    I'm looking forward to the service tomorrow, the last three WW1 veterans will be there, it really is something none of us should miss - see the bit below in bold.

    "Henry Allingham, 112, will be joined by Harry Patch, 110 and William Stone 108, the only other known surviving veterans of the Great War in Britain, at the Cenotaph in London on Tuesday Nov 11 for a service of remembrance.

    They are the last three, from more than five million Britons who bore arms when the Armistice was signed exactly 90 years before.

    It will almost certainly be the last major anniversary of the First World War at which a living link with that generation will be present"
