Thank you Stephanie, Peter and Ruth for your kind comments on my picture of the Gurkhas on Parade at Spennymoor on Remembrance Sunday 2005.  I feel very fortunate to have met these wonderful people.  Most of them are about my height - 5'2" - and they prove, if ever proof was needed, that you don't have to be tall to be a giant!  I have some more Remembrance pics to upload (2006/2007) when my computer stops creaking and complaining (its getting to be a bigger nuiscance than I am) and there are another couple of Gurkha pics amongst them.

They weren't at our Remembrance Parade last year, because a special day of their own falls on November 11th, so when Remembrance Sunday falls on Remembrance Day, they are busy at their own special observances.  I'm looking forward to hoefully meeting them again this year (November 9th)

You're most welcome, Alan.  I love all the pics. We were in Whitby last year on Remembrance Day and we went to Mass at St. Hilda's church there and the priest started the liturgy by reading the list of countries involved in the wars and the number of people who died in each.  It was very moving.

It's all the fault of those Gurkhas! (LOL)  So many of you seem to have taken to my pics of these wonderful young men on Remembrance Day Parade in Spennymoor, where they are regular (and very popular) guests.  It's a big feather in the cap of such a small town that these young men will honour us, when there are so many pother places clamouring for them!

Special thanks to Jason (I'd not like to meet the ugly old guy in the pic on a dark night, would you Jason?) Sue H, who I can assure does not know me.  The picture may look perfect, but I sincerely hope you're a better judge than to suggest that I am, too) LOL.  I would like to point out that two of the pictures, although taken with my camer, could not possibly have been taken by me - I really don't have arms that long!  Thanks to you all just the same, and I'll say again, it's all the fault of those Gurkhas.  They have such universal appeal - and rightly so!
