Breath-taking shots of the Low, Dave. Thanks a million.
Thanks Dave. fantastic photos of the Low.
A fitting place for War Heroes to be remembered.
Is the Big Tree now known officially as the Falklands Tree? It also commemorates troops killed in Northern Ireland.
Thanks Dave for the photos. I have only recently found that my two great uncles Frank and Harold Beard are commemorated there and so will travel up from Birmingham and attend a future rememberance service . It looks a beautiful spot. My family owned Beard's Outfitters at 96/98 Market Street at the time of WW1.
Beautiful pictures.... thank you Dave...
