Well bugger me.  

Phil was kind enough to post this at 1339hrs on the 28th June and here we are just about 12 hours later with only one reply (two including mine).

Perhaps his post was difficult to read because the spacing had went astray or perhaps it was a post that nobody could moan at.

BBC, Sky and whoever else covered this emotional event did it well and the veterans are proud that this has happened.

Lastly, will this thread go the same way as the BBC non-coverage one?

 I watched the coverage on BBC2 at 1700hrs and found the tissue I was clutching very handy, especially when I saw some of the veterans wiping away a tear

  There is a nice report on ’An airman’s blog’ which you might like to read.

  Dave, the contribution of Canadian, Australian and New Zealand Forces was given full credit in Steven Daltons’ speech but if the BBC didn’t broadcast it overseas it doesn’t really surprise me as they are far from being the once respected broadcaster that could be relied upon for truth and balance that they once were.
