It rained. It was sunny. But it was a great day at the Ulster Tower for the centenary of the Battle of the Somme. Some pictures.

Somme 2016 - Ulster Tower Commemoration

I had an email today from the Somme Association, the organisation that is organizing the commemoration at the Ulster Tower, to say that our last minute application had been successful. We had sent our details inc passport numbers to them and they have sent a new form to us to ask pretty much the same information, plus a signature. I have sent a copy to all those going and we have until March 16th to get them back, signed.
