Tonight is the yearly square bashing on TV by the Poppy Appeal. I can't think Mark has ever missed it (unless he was working).
I get all choked to see the widows and sometimes the honored soldiers kids that lead.
Then I cheer up watching the Legion flag bearers (who have been waiting Years to get a place) only to cock up on their marching- bless 'em. It must be hard to march down stairs even so I have noticed in the past and tonight there is a soldier at the entrance to show them how to start off so they can finish on the floor with the right foot and set off with the right arm! Still they get it wrong. Queenie must despair.
