Commando Memorial

With our holiday drawing to a close we turned South.  After driving for some time we were ready for a break and looking for a layby.  A parking place was indicated ahead, it turned out to be the car park for the WW11 Commando Memorial.

Having got parked obviously we walked up to the monument for a better view  as from the car park the statues had their backs to us.  While we were there a gentleman arrived with what was clearly a purpose built electric bike.  The luggage carrier at the front had banners "Walking with the wounded".  He had cycled by a route which took 2000 miles from (I think) Kings Lynn.

Apart from being himself an ex-commando he had a grey beard which would be larger than Kanyl and mine put together.  With the wind blowing his beard was out beyond his shoulder.  Quite a character.
