Service at the war memorial spoilt for many by disrespectful oiks drinking outside the Prince Albert who started talking loudly and laughing straight after Reveille, making it impossible to hear the Vicar's address.

Very well attended Service at Deal. Excellent Last Post by a young schoolboy member of Snowdown Colliery Band. The number of organisations & individuals laying wreaths increases by the year. Impeccable Parade Marshall in Malcolm Wells from the Veterans Assn of Deal.
