Harry Patches funeral

[eahotson]

Is going to be today at Wells Cathedral.After his experiences in the trenches he became very anti war.At his funeral there will be readings from representatives from all over Europe including Germany, and ceremonial weapons will not be allowed into the cathedral. A chorister will sing the old anti war song, Where have all the Flowers gone.How wonderful.

I like his idea that if leaders of the world want to go to war, give them a weapon each and send them into a room to fight it out.

RIP Mr Patch
