| This is the main departure for the ceremony at Tyne Cot on 12th July. There are three coaches on this date guided by Iain McHenry, Keith Quibell and Peter Williams. I will also be present to keep an eye on things and look forward to meeting Leger passengers old and new during this special week.

| I was in Ypres last Thursday, shook hands with the Queen on her walkabout of the town, the Menin Gate ceremony was superb at 6:30p.m. and the 8:00 p.m. I thought was even better, with the girls choir from New Zealand. I didn't see anyone who looked like they were on a Leger tour, did you attend the Tyne Cot ceremony? I'm sure you must have. Ed.

| Previous to my last post........ I meant to say, did the Leger tour visit the Menin Gate ceremony, at 6:30 or 8:00 p.m. only I didn't notice! I'm sure you must have. Ed.

It was a WA coach that was blocking her way; she had just been for a rest in the lounge of the nearest Silver Service coach for a brandy-coffee...
