There was a great crowd waiting to welome back the troops of 63 RAF Squadron from Afghanistan and I was lucky enough to get a ringside position, though they had sold out of flags by then. The boys looked immaculate and two teenage girls behind me kept up a very amusing commentary, going 'cor, look at 'im!', and giggling at 'that tiddly little one in the middle.' I had a lump in my throat and felt extremely patriotic for at least half an hour! And had a good lech at all those fit young lads!!!
