Another brilliant parade again today, for those of you that missed it, put it in your diary for a must do for next year. Everybody is welcome.A very good parade from Chelmsley Wood Royal British Legion Clopton Crescent B37 6QT to St Andrews church 13/11/2011, Starts from Legion club at 09.50 after wreath and tributes being laid from 09.15. Northfield Caledonia Pipe and Drum Band will lead the parade. Parade returns to Legion after Remembrance service. All are very welcome.
My dad's medals are framed and displayed in my home, however I had a set of miniature medals made and my grandson will be proudly wearing them when he marches with his scout cub pack at his local Remembrance Sunday march.What's the general feeling towards people wearing there parents war medals on Remembrance Sunday parades.
I'm going to the one in Shirley Solihull this Sunday and am considering wearing my Dads WW2 medals in his honour.
He was very proud and allways marched with them on his chest on Remembrance Sunday with his local British Legion right up to his death 19 years ago.
Since then I allways get a photo of him and Mum, put them up in the lounge and put his medals beside the photo on Remembrance Sunday.
I never earned these medals, he did, so should I be wearing them?
What's other forumites opinion on this matter, I would respect your opinions.
