the seating area was set aside for dignitaries, wearers of chains, those who were laying wreaths and for those finding it difficult to stand for too long.
the arrival of the council chairman.

29 June 2013 17:46235529Incidentally Howard, I'm far from "in charge". I come under the thumb of the ladies of DTC and do what I'm told.
That includes the thorny subject of precedence!
TerryQuis custodiet ipsos custodes? - 29 June 2013 18:16235531brian has kindly sent in a selection of photos, a couple to start with.

- 29 June 2013 20:07235539legend of the lens brian somehow gained access to the holy of holies - the inner sanctum of the town council offices.
- 30 June 2013 07:54235582Where has the pride and respect gone .During the service yesterday people were walking past all the time .I watched one lady walking with a stick weave her way past where the Bishop was standing then past the DTC main door and finally wandered down towards Ladywell.
This was a very inportant service for many people.Until we raise the pride and respect there is not much hope.
In my role I try but its an up hill struggle.
I was taught to lead by excample.You dont have to be rich to have manners. - 30 June 2013 09:34235590exactly the same on remembrance sunday, not rocket science to work out what is going on and act accordingly.

- 30 June 2013 12:18235604Silent reflection Brian.For some reason I was seated on my own for some time .Always close my eyes for prayers.I think of my loved ones.
