Looks like he has 2x adopted sons who are considerably younger than him. How do think i feel i am going to be with him for 2 weeks. Good job Andrea and Kim are going to keep me from throwing him of the mountain or drowning him in the pool when we get to the villa

@Andy McDonnell You can put me in for some funds towards a good one. Its the least I can do after what these service personal and merchant navy / civilians have given.

Sorry its the way I was brought up, with respect for service personal etc, I was born and lived in Portsmouth most of my life. Home of the Royal Navy and I have a lot of friends who served and still do.

This chap, my grandad - royal marine, also loved portsmouth and spent many years revisiting in his later life.

And group photo

I think this will be a very emotional trip for me.
@oldcarman i will sort a flag and represent you on the day.

Update:

@GazHyde kindly agreed the use of the forum logo for the centre of the attached wreath. There is an on-site service of remembrance in the on-site Chappel at 11:00 hrs and is on a first come first serve basis. The Chappel seats 120 and it's service is unique in the UK. I'll post pubs to eat nearby for those that want a bight to eat before they go and Jack up directions etc in the next couple of days. Wreath looks spot on I think, will put some appropriate words on the card.

Thanks for organising the wreath Andy, more than happy for the sites logo to be used for such a wonderful tribute!

Looks fantastic Andy, wish I could attend. You won't forget to add the cost of my CDN Flag to my share of the cost. Let me know your email in a PM and I'll send it through PayPal ASAP! This is the most appopriate. Reason for a Zed gathering if ever there was one. It was the sacrifices of those who died so we could enjoy the freedoms we so often take for granted that makes this such an important event in our lives and I'm proud that zorg has fallen behind your suggestion. Thank you, JIM
