without wishing to sound like an old git
people don't realise what some of our grand parents went through, compared to our relatively easy life's. Apreciate her while you can. When I realised how much of a legend my grandad was he had died. He was a policeman during the war (II) and saw some pretty nasty things, people burning alive in the blitz etc..never used to talk about it though surprisingly. His cliam to fame was on VE day. He was pictured next to Winston Churchill while he was giving the victory sign from his roller (tried to look for picture and failed, too many), again only learnt about this after he died. I tell anyone that has their grandparents still around to appreciate them, especially if they have led an intersting life....i don't have many regrets in life but that is definately one of them.

Thanks Herb!
I will check this out later and see if I can spot him. I do have a copy of the original from my mum which I have hanging on my wall in my dining room but good to know there may be other sources I can get this from just in case it gets damaged. Thanks again!

Can't find the picture anywhere sadly
I have a feeling the picture was taken by a friend of my Grandad's because the only pictures I seem to find are all on the outskirts of trafalgar sqaure :( Looks like the pros didn't get very close due to crowd mass.
