They are a bit slow in that one!

This is amazing and very moving.

They had a bugle player and a 2 minute silence at 11.00 today.

It's called "For your tomorrow" and there is a silhouette for every serviceman that died on D Day.

That is amazing, beautiful, poignant and must have been an emotional and sobering experience.

It really brings it home the sacrifices made for our freedom today.

It's Stowe gardens in Buckinghamshire.

I only became aware of it when I saw an article on the news on Friday.

Unfortunately it closes on the 11th November though and I expect today will be extremely busy.

Best known for the D Day silhouettes and a very moving 2 minutes silence as far as I'm concerned.

Waiter!

... a lot of general election posters.

The journey to the start of today's expedition passed through a few neighbouring constituencies.

It is not unknown for candidates to be better known by their nicknames than by their actual legal names, so they are often used, to ensure that people know exactly who they are dealing with.

This is a classic example that I saw a few times today.
