Love that green shirt - the perfect colour for me. *idly wondering where he got it!*
There was a Battle of Waterloo memorial unveiled at Waterloo station today, a larger version of the campaign medal that all participants, regardless of rank, received, and, at Wellington Barracks, a bugle that was found by the side of a dead drummer boy was played again, for the first time in two hundred years - last played during the battle itself. Astonishing, and how utterly distasteful that the French are trying to pretend that the battle didn't happen in quite the well recorded way it did to try and lessen their humiliation - tragic, and very small of them, they should be ashamed.
