  Also, don't forget the Royal Marines Band on Walmer Strand tomorrow afternoon. With 2 massive screens apparently planned, don't expect to see much grass visible along the whole front....

  Certainly expect it to be busy, the front page of BBC news online suggests 10,000 visitors !

  As expected, an emotional return to Deal by the Royal Marines. Crowds of many thousands lined the road as they marched from the site of the bombing though the barracks, along Walmer Strand and onto the bandstand. RIP the 11 men that were lost:

  Keith what are you on about?
  The concert was on 12th July, Paul has put a link to the site which has details.

  There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".

  Must say that I am extremely disappointed with the Express's coverage of the commemoration, considering it was such a terrible event 20 years ago - they just about pushed to the front cover and 1/2 of page 5.
  
  The Mercury on the other hand - an 8 page pullout today, plus pages and a whole commemoration booklet last week - well done
  Been nice knowing you :)
