He said the Queen had agreed to the tribute as "an enduring symbol of the nation's admiration and our gratitude to the people of that town." Click here for the full article on the BBC website.

It is good to see such spontaneous support of the military personnel by a local population. Heart warming indeed! It is also good to realise that it has been appreciated by The Powers That Be.
