That's a heart-breaking number - it's 453 too many.

Well deserved.

So sad, each and everyone was a hero.

I note that Tony Blair was also there. He's got some nerve.

While not undermining their contribution - which is enormous, what was the death toll of the Forces during the Northern Irish problem years? - just to put things in a bit of perspective.

Nice post, AOG. Well done.

453 too many. I am very proud of our forces. I have huge respect for them all.

I saw on the interviews with the relatives, on the News. They all said how proud they were of their sons and daughters....quite a tear-jerking occasion for most of them I would imagine.
