Sunday Cenotaph Parade
Quote from Bob Riley on November 12, 2023, 12:41 pmBelieve it or not this the first time I’ve watched the Parade for nearly 35 years live on TV . Yes I’ve seen recording at a later time due to visiting the UK (Chester or Rochdale) over the years . Very impressive.

Col Mike must be in his mid 80s but he was marching with the best.

Mine (AVIVA Premium) pays hire car charges for the duration my car should be in for repairs no matter how long it takes, whilst most insurance companies pay at least a proportion of the cost. Might be worth asking your insurers - that, or move to the UK! Good luck with the repairs, here's hoping you're back on the road in your own car soon. John (JKW)
