Given all the "doom and gloom" and the activities of many selfish people ..  stories like this restore my faith in human nature  :y :y

A huge "well done" and "Thank you" to them all

It is indeed heart warming to see people remembering and showing respect to old soldiers who have no family etc. when their time is up. :y

Got a friend who is an Undertaker & this takes place quite often very sad but does show the good side of the human race.

One thing I have learnt over the last 8 years or so is that once your in the military, you never really leave the family  :)

Respect to all the lads and lasses who took time out to give these a good send off  :y

Sadly this often occurs, and it is a shame that veterans are not better supported in life, especially in their twilight years. (eg like me ::)) :y

Even though the Royal British Legion / Royal Air Force Association do there best funds are limited but I have found that once you pick up the phone and they know who you are, you will be remembered and they will help if they can  :y
Trouble is, us ex military lot tend to be a proud bunch and don't like asking the question.
Me personally was a gibbering wreck 8 years ago and only picked up the phone out of shear desperation. They treat me like a person (not a victim) and i'll never forget that ............


I won't comment on the Military Covenant or i'll end up crashing the forum with my choice of descriptive language  :-X :-X
