Another update

Continuing on, in the afternoon we went to see the parade in town. There was a new memorial commemorated for the War Horse - during WW1, the horses going to war were collected just out of Romsey before being shipped to France. The big puppet from the War Horse show was paraded in the Town Square - we missed that - and then there was a parade of military bands and regiments and people who had served in the Forces. Quite small parade but interesting - as you saw, I waved the flag for the English! i felt I should as the Princess Royal was in the parade. (The Princess Royal is Ann, in case you didn’t know - it used to be her Aunt Margaret who died).
Here is photo of the War Horse and the boy.
It is a very touching statue.
And in typical British fashion, we went to the pub after the parade, with a couple of Claire's friends from mothers group and their babies. And that was Friday...
