Day Eleven: Not the Last Post

Backblip:

After a day visiting Tournai which was dissappointing and not up to the guidebook hype (but the frites were good...the first of many portions in the coming days) we left the kids and set off in the evening for Ypres again to attend The Last Post ceremny at Menin Gate. We were both amazed and moved to see that hundreds of people still attend this event frm all around the world despite the fact that it is held every day since it was started in 1928. To see the Menin Gate with the names of 54,896 Commonwealth soldiers who died without graves, cut into vast panels, it a humbling sight.
