Dear @BSTHydePark - I only bought the tickets yesterday! My only thoughts so far is that you rinsed me on the service fees, paying over forty quid for 4 digital tickets.

Morning spent at The National Archives.

Remembering those who went over the top at Arras & Vimy 109 year ago today. This photo of Bunyans Cemetery was taken at dawn on the centenary of the battle as I walked 12th Division’s attack in real time, a memorable experience.
