MAY I, on behalf of the Royal Naval Patrol Service, Bolton Branch, say a great thank you to all the people who attended the Parade and Service on the Town Hall Square.

The reception and applause we were given was exceptional, and every ex-serviceman marched just that little bit taller and prouder because of it. You certainly made our day.

So it's with a little pique that we would like to launch a full broadside salvo to the stern ends of those responsible for allowing a car boot sale nearby on Remembrance Sunday -- of all Sundays.
