Photo was taken at Victoria Park, London, on Heros Day 27 Sept.  I was manning the tent for the RCR Association and Museum.   By the way  there was a very poor showing of the general public,  Shame on all of you who did not come out to show support.

Hi Ron;

I didn't even know the Association or Museum was involved untill after the fact, which seems to be the norm here in London. I belong to the Association but never hear of anything until after the fact and usually after reading about it here. If I had known, I probably would have come out.

Cheers

I would say that if that cop knew Doug, he would not sit that close.
