about this picture... It's is nice to see an ex Kingo can still do his bit for those who serve today... If only every other Kingo could do the same (that's not a slag off) it just makes me feel very proud looking at that photo. Bless you mate. I also try to do what i can... see photo's on my site at .....www.partington.legionbranches.net ....I hope that the soldiers of today do in 30 years time what we are doing now ... that would realy make me and my family feel very proud of the time i and many like me put in.

Hi Cammy, the reason we do what we do is not only because we are ex-services, but because succesive governments over many years have not done right by our serving and ex-service comrades. I like you and many others do our little bit to try and make a difference, alas we are all getting older and not as fit as we used to be. I am one of the lucky ones, I am sat inside the store with full run of all the facilities at my disposal. In the last 6 years sitting 12 hours a day for over a week I have raised almost £15.000, it makes me ill for a while after, but if I cant give a week a year to help I think it would be a very bad show. As well as being a member of my local Royal British Legion Branch I am also a member of the Royal British Legion Riders Branch.

Nice one Griff... I fully applaud & support your efforts.. Keep up the good work.. For as you so correctly stated the goverment does not do enough... It's ok for them to send us to war but not to pick up the broken pieces afterwards
