Not enough room to squeeze the second E in by the looks of it!

Every year this happens although. the road is closed so many locals push past where we are standing on the pavement.In the end another lady also bedecked with a chain and myself politely told them to wait as a service was under way.What impression does it give to our visitors who have travelled to pay their respects.

Moving ceremony this morning at St James cemetery commemorating the daring raid in Zeebrugge bt the Royal Navy on St George's day, 1918. Local organisations present plus over 20 Belgians, civilians, veterans and service personal had travelled from Zeebrugge to take part, also representative of government of Flanders. Wreath also laid to commemorate VE Day at the beautiful WW2 memorial. Such a wonderful calm place. Followed by service outside the Town Hall where Zeebrugge bell (a gift from the king of Belgium) was rung. Good to see so many of the public there.
