Excellent pictures Ken - a very useful historical record of the day at St Botolph's Patrick (Friends of Colchester Museums)

Thank you, Ken, for this glimpse into what must have been a gathering that touched many hearts.

Very moving photographs that bring to mind the courage and bravery of those who have fought to keep us free -- and of the close bond between Great Britain and the USA then and now. Thank you, Ken, for reminding us of the importance of standing together and helping each other. Anna
