Did any one see this moving arial footage & photographs of the conflict,the very touching end ?
If you have not seen this & then if you have BBC I PLAYER have a look.
The final part will bring a tear or two! :cry:
 
I think English Monuments are about to release these images onto the net which should be interesting...
