| I avoided the BBC evening coverage: namely a rip-off of the "Surprise, Surprise" format whereby ex-service people and friends and families were reunited after six decades' absence - very saccharin and hosted by Des Lynham - followed by Sir Cliff, Will Young et al performing wartime hits in Trafalgar Square. (Regional news was full of people dressed up in 1940s rig and having a sing-song and a cup of char.)
I can appreciate the Govt. wants to do the big thing in June/July, to avoid having two commemoratives or upsetting Far East veterans, but the offering from the BBC was rather lame.
