Some very emotional stuff coming from France and Southsea yesterday and last night, and very well done too. However,the drone display just before 10pm was something else. That’s coming from somebody who generally has a massive dislike for the things. Lots of dust around last night too.

The D Day commemorations hit me more and more over time.

Probably a combination of things, now my son is near the age where people his age served, something about the passing of the last of my grandfather’s generation, the fact the it has echoes of a country we are losing (no, not meant in a Fox / Robinson sense), all of these things and more.

I’ve also been spending a lot of time in Portsmouth lately and am increasingly drawn to it.

I always had it marked in my mind as a challenging dump, but I love the history, the fact it’s on the water, but not a seaside resort.

Anyway, whatever. A very poignant coupe of days.
