The Festival Of Remembrance On Bbc1

[Bobbisox1]

Time for us to give our thanks to those people past and present who gave their all for our tomorrow

[ummmm]

That should be all year round.

[Baldric]

Just turned over for it Bobbi, unmissable imo.

[Bobbisox1]

I watch it every year Baldric

[Jackdaw33]

How are they holding it in the middle of lockdown?

[Bobbisox1]

Still with the music and video clips of the bravery of our forces Jack

[Vagus]

Stopped watching the programme a few years ago, doesn’t mean I don’t still adhere to the sentiment.
I find the programme somewhat boring.

[Jackdaw33]

So it's not live from the Royal Albert Hall, then?

[Bobbisox1]

Each to their own Vagus

[Bobbisox1]

Yes it's from the R.A.H Jack

[Bobbisox1]

It was recoded before this current lockdown

[Jackdaw33]

Is the Queen there?

[bobbinwales]

jackdaw, they said just before the program started that it was filmed before lockdown (assume the meant before your England one starting 2nd November not the March one)

[Bobbisox1]

No, HRH Prince Charles has been on and of course Sir Tom

[gulliver1]

21.23 Don't think so jack. I don't think Freddie Mecury is there either.

[ynnafymmi]

yna - // @21.26.Why,should he be there?Who the hell is Freddie Mecury anyway?Never heard of him before. //

If you are being serious - it's hard to tell in print - the reference to Freddie Mercury was in response to the point that The Queen was absent - Freddie was lead singer for rock band Queen, sadly he is deceased.

[Jackdaw33]

Freddie Mercury was the lead singer in the pop group Queen. Hence the mild attempt at humour.

[ynnafymmi]

I know who Freddie Mercury is.If Gully wants to be funny he should at least get the name right.Instead of falling flat on his face again.

[Baldric]

Anyone paying attention to Prince Charles' speech would have noticed he referenced the 70th anniversary of the end of the second World War, and there was me thinking it was the 75th.

[Bobbisox1]

Yes I did Baldric and yes it's the 75th anniversary
