    Does any forum member have connections or knowledge of the 21st independents wreath laying at Quatre Bras, its on the Saturday, but I would like to know the time,

    Hi

    There is a big how ion the Saterday at Ginkel heath, with 1000 parachutists dropping on the heath. Some of the vehicles that go on the "Race to the Bridge" will also line up there. Link is in Dutch but ther's a Union Jack in the top to translate ( very poorly, Singapore is somewhere else;)) , and shows timetable and location.
    Gelegerd in Gelderland | Slotmanifestatie There is a show through 2000 years of history of Gelderland, so also some Knights in shining armour, but also plenty of WWII and of course the Para Dropping.
