Atrasado, ei sei, mas...nunca imaginava encontrar os Chelsea Pensioners à minha espera. It has always been such a strong occasion, Remembrance Sunday in Whitehall. It always used to send a chill down my spine. As it was initiated to commemorate World War 1, it had a special resonance. the sadness is that there are almost none of that generation left now. They had a saying:"Old soldiers never die, they merely fade away". Sad, yet true. And the remembrance of them?

It was quite unexpected that I spent Remembrance Sunday in London, still I will keep it with me forever. Bjs, dear S.
