We were lucky enough to be able to attend some really good events in Folkestone yesterday.
Prince Harry hosted the military parade.

Pity the weather turned wet but some very good events and exhibitions

I used to like Folkestone when it was a ferry port - remember aged 10 going with my Mum & Dad on a day trip to Boulogne - the train station was right alongside the ferry

Looks very tired these days, but some fascinating connections to WW1

We decided to stay on for a few days and explore the area

BTW those railway tracks are still there.

9 million men passed through there on their way to WW1 battlefields, you wonder how many came back
