Barrie you know your DLI history.

If they did on Sunday they would have left the rest of the parade behind.

This is how the Riflemen do it, this was taken at the first passing out parade after their formation.

The best recruit was awarded with a musket so the link to the 68th is still there.

Our club (Durham PS) is holding an exhibition of prints in the town hall. This was timed to coincide with Remembrance Day, because after the service in Durham Cathedral the serving and veterans of the armed sevices parade to the market place then go into the town hall for refreshments.
LINK

Some of our members will be recording the event, why not get out and do the same in your area. The pictures are always appreciated.

I agree a crop will not work, shrubs cloned in and a cloud added to fill in the space above the Abbey.
