VE Day 8th May 2020 The display of medals are from Dad’s submarine service with Mum’s medal for being a Wren only awarded in 1997. I used to be a bugler in the Boys Brigade and once played the Last Post at the parade in November. I still remember the bugle calls at camp for Call In To Parade and the At The Double, it was strange and amazing that it just suddenly came to me from over 50 years ago!!

The Last Post is always thought provoking and moving and after two minutes silence standing with my wonderful Chris, I thought an appropriate tune would be “I wish I knew how it would to be free” surely the title says why we suffered and died in the wars against tyranny to set us free.

I should make no apology but I rarely play now because of arthritis in my left wrist and I think that I broke my right wrist a few days ago when I fell off my mountain bike. The I Wish tune was played though tears of respect for their sacrifice. God bless them all.
