Today was the 70th. anniversary of VE day; victory in Europe, and the end of WW2. (apart from the war in the far east, against the Japs).
I went into the war memorial area in Lewes at 3pm. expecting to see a two-minute silence being observed. Instead there was one brave man in military colours attempting (sucessfully) to halt the traffic. He was met with abuse and threats- but held on till 3.02.
We need more like him!
Most of those present were only walking on the face of this earth because we defeated the Nazis in 1945.

Total respect to that man, Jim. I did the 2 min silence at home but listening to The Last Post always brings a lump to my throat.

But you'd have had to have been first in the queue !. Perhaps he stopped a bus ? How did it happen, was he a Veteran ?
