Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 20 November 2010 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

The annual Act of Remembrance was held at Westoe Cenotaph, South Shields on Sunday 14 November 2010.
The public service was conducted by the Rev. Paul Kennedy of St. Michael and All Angels, Westoe, and Father Michael Wymes of St. Bede, South Shields.
A huge crowd attended to witness members of the armed services, uniformed youth organisations, Veteran's Associations, civic leaders and members of the public paying tribute to the fallen of two world wars and numerous conflicts since.

Members of the Boys Brigade line up alongside other organisations to pay their tributes.

my favourite...you've really caught the moment and the mood.
as for the lad...at a time when so many Ingerland internationals can't / won't sing their national anthem...it is so nice to see such an expression of pride.

Hello Curly, nice processing on this one, i like also the framing, you caught the expression very well, there's a boy fixing his hat that would be nice to have a picture of him on that moment when everybody was posing and he was messing it, cheers.
