TOPIC: Remembrance Day...

Remembrance Day... 11 Years, 8 Months ago  
Sorry to be a bore but, again, I'm quite happy to put up with it all as long as some splendid music (Elgar) gets played and millions can get to hear it.

In my life it's always been between music and literature - I never know which is more essential to me.

And using the two minute silence... huge admiration for our Queen and Prince Philip; even at my young age (about to be 69) I couldn't stand there in the cold for two minutes.

What a sacrifice - puts it ALL into perspective, doesn't it !!!!!
After all, we were only fighting HER relatives LOL !

She was probably thinking "how have we got away with this for all these years" ?

I was at the Royal Albert Saturday not far from the Box. Prince Philip looked a bit tired but he bore up well. It was a awesome show. Poppy Girls were very good even though Megan was trembling with nerves. Nice touch when they surprised her by bringing her dad back from Afghanistan.

I agree with JK about "Nimrod". That piece of music always moves me.

I was a good weekend.

Elgar - Nimrod, Military Band arrangement, Whitehall in November.

Not sure music gets any more powerful than that.
