REMEMBRANCE DAY - 30th May 2025

REMEMBRANCE DAY - 30th May 2025

It was most gratifying to see the number of contributions by colleagues.

Thanks to all of you who commented, and not forgetting the silent majority who accessed our Blog but did not post a comment.

This is the final contribution, and I hope you enjoy the video I created.

  1. Thanks Mahen,
    This montage brings to a conclusion a wonderful month of remembrance of our dear friends. Overall this is a lovely video, beautifully compiled and collated, most appropriate for this sombre occasion. The nostalgic images, the thought provoking words of comfort and the fine music will continue to resonate in our thoughts for many more months to come.

  8. Mahen, you have done a beautiful job with this video and the moving music which accompanied it. I was truly touched while watching and listening to the music (on my bluetooth speaker, to give the music the respect it deserved!) As their faces flashed by I did think about all these friends. I was closer to some than others, and they will not be forgotten. I have very special memories of some of them. I imagine you spent a lot of time creating this tribute, and it is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
