    Default Armed Forces Day

    All around the country today, events were going on to celebrate our Armed Forces. Even along the Thames in London there were signs of this. The first shot shows the 4 boats/barges (?) being pulled along by the tug whose rear you can just about see. As they approached the bridges they waved and raised their cans.... they were enjoying their day

    Wasn't anywhere where this was going on today, but I saw the TV footage of a bin man who was in the T.A., wearing his army gear, was nice to see everyone's response.

    Yes - people do seem to support them well. There is more stuff going on tomorrow in Reading - there will be tanks in Broad Street and a band in the Forbury Park.

    Perhaps, but to be fair - they didn't say which SORT of tank... they may all be plumbers or aquarium keepers
