Royal Festival Of Remembrance

[Ann]

I can't see another thread on this from last night.

I just have to comment how really moving it all was this year, especially the song from Jim Radford the 85 year old, who sang a beautiful song about the shores of Normandy. And the other war veteran with him, over 100 years old who had a wonderful strong loud voice when reading out the scripted words.

Did anyone else think there were not as many "poppies" falling onto the servicemen and women as usual, this year? They are all usually covered in the red petals .....

The only part of the whole evening I didn't like was the Joss Stone and Jeff Beck song - I couldn't hear a word she was singing, but perhaps it was just me, I don't like her voice - too overpowering and a bit raucous for a solemn evening like that.

There is a petition to get Jim Radford s song released with any profits going to BLESMA

if you Google 'Jim Radford petition' the second post down should take you to it.
