Great couple of days helping out with the Bronze expedition. A little damp at times but brilliantly organised and a beautiful part of the country.

We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of D-Day veteran OE Philip Sweet (KES 1936-41). His bravery and humility were an inspiration to us all, and we will remember him with great affection and pride. Our thoughts are with his family and many friends at this time.
