Amen Bobby.
Lest we never forget.

Our 10 o'clock news recreated the news last night exactly as it was 70 years ago when the bombs first started dropping on London. Of course back then television was in its very infancy and most people actually got their news via the radio but it was still quite impressive. There was also a service of memorial at St Pauls yesterday with veterans attending. It choked me as I watched an old pilot shed a tear as the Lancaster and Spitfire flew over.

The BBC have created these sites with videos and stories.( just hope you non-Brits can see them)

www.bbc.co.uk/archive/battleofbritain
(awesome documentary on the spit with duggy bader and johnny Johnston contributions)
