London Photos 2

Oe of the main reasons I go to London is to commemorate Remembrance Weeken.  So, as I posted a couple of days ago I was at the actual Cenotaph.  However the other place I visit is that of the Field of Remembrance at St Margaret's Westminster.  I plant a cross of remembrance for Dad in The Home Guard (that he served in during WWII), one in The Coldstream Guards (that his father served in during the 1920's).  I then plant 2 crosses in the Northamptonshire Regiment (one for my Granddad who server 1915 - 1918, and one for 2 friends who I used to meet there every year , who were WWII veterans).  This year I also planted a cross on behalf of Claire and her family as Richard had served in The Royal Corps of Signals for 22 years (he had a standard on his coffin at his funeral)







This year, there was also a plot to commemorate HRH Queen Elizabeth II



I also spotted a couple of popular London sights







... and as it was November, the Christmas lights were up -
