Remembrance

Grey and dull outside but at least it wasn't raining when we went for a walk.  
Shortly after 11am we passed this small group of people by the COPP Memorial - they were clearly holding a service and had laid a wreath.   COPP stands for Combined Operations Pilotage Parties 
 "This top secret unit of less than 200 men won over 90 medals and commendations. They carried out secret reconnaissance missions on proposed enemy-held invasion beaches and the information gathered safeguarded the lives of thousands of Allied servicemen."
Their work was recognised by this memorial only a couple of years ago.  Prince Charles is their patron and visited the memorial on 1st July this year.
