There are millions of pictures, but very few speak a million words.

I saw this on twitter a few moments ago and posted it here with a lump in my throat.

This Para was presented his brother's beret at his passing out ceremony, the brother that was killed in Afghanistan in 2008, when this lad was just a 6 yo. He made a promise to make his brother proud. You have!

You can see the humanity in his eyes.

The paras are an elite regiment well done to him for getting there.

Bloody hell, poignant or what. Stepping into your brother's shoes at the same time as knowing his death was all in vain. That's going to hurt.

A death though tragic as it may be is never in vain
It allways makes some kind of difference,However small it may seem.

Today i whitnessed old and young men and women
paying there respects at the monument here in Connon bridge
alll done up in the Sunday best..

Not much more to say except glad they are remembered

Amazing. At my gun club yesterday we all stopped at 11 for the 2 minutes silence, followed by a volley of 3 shots. Very moving.
