65th Aniversary of the RAF's raid on Dresden

Also cycled to Ypres. This is the Menin Gate. It is dedicated to the Commonwealth soldiers killed in WWI who don't have known graves. Since 1928 every night at 8, they play the Last Post. It's a very moving experience. The surrounding area is also well worth cycling around. There's lots of memorials and preserved/recreated examples of trench warfare life..

The service took place during WW2 whilst Wipers was occupied by the Germans!...I have a cousin whose name is on the Thiepval memorial on the Somme; for those without a known grave.
