I do think it looks great, and we're lucky to have one of the most beautiful war memorials in the country.

As it is for many other people, the place is very special to my family. For my mum, growing up without a dad, who'd been killed in Normandy aged 22, just months before she was born, it is the nearest thing she had/has to a grave to visit.

My grandfather's great grandson was very proud to march with the cubs, in today's rededication procession.

Gayle didn't miss PB he's on the first photo and seeing he has worked for Ossy tirelessly over the last twenty five years, why shouldn't he be there. The fact is that most of the time PB doesn't ask to have a photo included in the press, as they use pics taken years ago
