    The first photo reminds me very much of the hat & outfit Princess Mary wore to Arlington Cemetery in Washington.
    Really fits the occasion in such a classic way.
    The Thiepval Memorial isa sad & sombre place but hauntingly special to remember the 75,000 fallen who have no known resting place. Lest we forget.
