Breath-taking shots of the Low, Dave. Thanks a million.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave. fantastic photos of the Low.
ReplyDeleteA 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures.... thank you Dave...
ReplyDeleteI served on HMS Glamorgan the last ship to be hit by an Argentine Exocet during the Falklands conflict,at the time my home address was 171 Stockport rd,
ReplyDeleteI moved to California a couple of years after the Conflict ended. I lost 14 good friends June the 12th 1982,. I just found out about the BIG TREE and think it was a brilliant idea and the fact it has to be close to my home at the time is amazing I always felt I left something behind there. thank you so much for the photo.
