Title: Did anyone tape/dvd/hd the Falklands commeration?
Post by: SMP1704 on June 17, 2007, 21:27:37
and if so, could I have a copy please.

OH served in the Falklands and today it was all Sunday best at Horseguards.  It was a brilliant day, where the boys finally understood what Dad did before he was their Dad and it also gave him the opportunity to meet up with mates he hadn't seen for more than 20 years.

BUT............the taped event didn't come out too well - new fangled TV on computer thingy

It would be great if I could source a DVD or Tape from somewhere else - happy to pay postage etc.

Here hoping

Thanks
