This is Dame Vera Lynn at the Sea sports Centre early this afternoon, to do with the people`s port debate. I thought there should be a record of her visit here on a seperate thread from the port sell debate, so PLEASE, your own pics or views of her or her music here, but anything political etc, please use BOB FROST`s excellent thread which cover`s all that. Ta.

What a charming Lady, or should I say Dame, I'm very surprised I never fell over you Colin, never saw you.
Iv'e never met so many forumites in such a short time. I think it deserved a seperate thread to keep away the polo's.

Nice one Ian, and something for you and your family to treasure mate. I`ve actually got a picture of myself somewhere sitting next to her majesty the Queen. Taken at Madame Tussaud`s some years ago.

I didn't get that close and had to leave early to avoid a parking ticket. Glad to put a name to so many faces today, sorry I missed you Colin.

Sorry I missed you too Ray. Like Ian, I saw so many forumites about today both here and in town. Nice picture there by the way, and that bloke in the red jacket there has added a bit of colour to it all. Made everyone else look so drearily dressed.

She had lunch at Blakes before going to the seafront, smoked salmon followed by Dover Sole (What Else! remarked her daughter Virginia who came with her). I have to say she has a good appetite for a lady of her age.

that is when bob is at his most dangerous ian, much better when he is drunk.
alec hobbled down to the funky monkey for a pint of john smiths at £.1.45. not sure how they manage it at that price.

Ok last one. I really do find it annoying when one gets into a position to take a photo and is asked by a professional photographer to move as he needs to take a photo from were you are.
If you are that good Phil you would'nt have asked me to move.
Still training I suppose.
