It's good to see this second set of photos from this collection, and they are marvelous! You always do such a great job of representing the people in your community. This must be a wonderful event and it certainly seems to honor the armed forces personnel nicely. I always feel like this type of event is good for a community. The photo of the baby is my favorite. Precious! Great post, as always.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ann, I value your comments. I thought you'd like the baby pic, when I took it felt it would be the standout image from the day.
ReplyDeleteYou were right! It’s delightful!
DeleteYou have really captured the occasion. Always good to see those veterans face, quite a contrast to the cadets - says a lot about life. Superb photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mike, it's one of my favourite events in Cleethorpes. The weather was superb this year too.
