Last week I was contacted by the BBC, re the Accrington Pals, in preparation for when Harry Patch the last surviving Tommy died. Things got pushed forward a bit when Harry died in his sleep late last Friday.

The BBC crew came mid-day to day, and it will be on the 10 oclock news. After they left the library the went on to film the so called pals Chapel and the Cenotaph, and then to Blackburn to edit the film.

I would not allow them to interview me, its not my thing. I think they've found a puppet to act as a Pals expert.

Our Cenotaph is the biggest town memorial outside London.
