More of the World War Two Weekend

This is just a quick round up of other things that happened over the weekend - like running into Rene from 'Allo, 'Allo in Backfold (not the actor - just someone dressed like him), and the French officer and French Resistance lady who were wandering around the field.

There was also a service on the Saturday at the Cemetery at the war graves, most of which are of German and Italian prisoners of war who never made it home.  The re-enactors portraying the Wehrmacht fired a volley over the graves.  There are good photos in the Hereford Times.

Wreaths were also laid at the grave of the Land Army girl who is buried there, and the Icarus statue (he was an RAF pilot - his mother was the sculptor and his stepfather was the author Rafael Sabatini).

My Young Man was impressed by all the motorbikes he saw around town, especially this one:


I rather liked this vintage car we found in the main car park, too:
