Blink and you’ll miss it!

Which I did, but luckily all the family were watching and one of my brothers captured Mr F marching down Whitehall next to the lady with bright purple hair!
Earlier we had left Petersfield at 6am to get the train from Guildford at 7. We parked the car, scanned the QR code and tried to pay the £2 due, but the system only works if you have a UK phone number as it wants to send a code which must be then sent back, and it thinks a French phone number is invalid. How ridiculous is that? 
Anyway, after solving that problem, we went our separate ways as security was tight, and I wasn’t allowed anywhere near where Mr F was meeting his fellow marchers. I walked to the RAF club and watched on tv from there. Some friends arrived to join us for lunch, and we had a lovely time.
If you’re interested, there’s an article about Mr Frenchtoast on the SSAFA website, and photos of his great grandad etc, the purple haired lady is the article below him (before she had purple hair)!
We have another early start tomorrow…….!
