Just saw the local organizing committee has banned beer just a couple of days prior to the start.

What are the folks gonna drink?

I'm sure there's a couple of Glantophiles lurking about.  I have thousands of the common ones around the house.  There were here when I arrived 30 years ago.

Flowers to follow.  Cyclamen coum "Yayladagi"

Yes, Sylvia's payment went through.  She may have not realized her transaction was completed.

I like the British way of honoring those who perished in Wars at their soccer games.  Moment of silence and then a bugle salute. Seems like the entire crowd observes the solemn day

Here's a image on my uncle's book  commemorating the surrender on the USS Missouri.  He was a gunners mate  on the ship.
