I just felt immense gratitude for what these men and women had given for me and my small children whose hands I held that little bit tighter. I wanted to tell each and every one of them how much I appreciated their sacrifices. I blamed the tears on the low sun!

However on this winter's day they marched once again. The only sound was the thump of their shoes on the cobbles and the tinkling of their medals banging together on their chests whilst they glinted in the wintry sunlight.

being given a heroes farewell by their proud, tearful sweethearts and families as they left for the great adventure of a short, story book war that would see them returning before Christmas to a grateful country

Many first world war veterans were present. Now old men and shells of the young soldiers they had been nonetheless they straightened their backs and swung their arms as once again they marched with comrades present and gone before.
