A Day in York



Lucky me I got to see a parade of British WWII veterans as I visited York today. These 4 were just a few of many who were at Normandy. I spoke with the man on the right who is 84 and was very gracious and welcoming. Not sure what all the medals are for but they are daunting. Notice how many the woman has.














I wish I was able to say who the dignitaries are but I am not. No one next to me seemed to know either. Very British, though, and very formal.


After the parade,the rain.......
