    A shame the service was spoilt by that spineless apologist Justin Welby trotting out his reconciliation lines that he co-wrote with the BBC

    I've seen the only surviving Weybridge built Wellington at the Brooklands museum - they brought it up from Loch Ness some years ago

    They were a fantastic generation of brave people...including my dad, who served in the RN for the whole of WW2, plus 24 years after that.

    Such a shame that following generations have thrown away much of what they were fighting for.

    Heartwarming story. So many good people's lives cut short. One reason I try not to waste away mine.
