Remembrance Bus

With the Remembrance weekend upon us, I am taken back to an email I received from former Jubilee Coaches driver Kevan Portas who forwarded a couple of pictures of a bus observed in Blackpool a couple of months ago

It was of Stagecoach Merseyside and South Lancashire's 15301 YN67 YKU, a Scania N250UD ADL Enviro 400 MMC, carrying Remembrance branding. Thanks for those.

This is quite poignant time for Kevan as he always attended the local service in St George’s Park each year in tribute to his father. The latter was involved in the D Day landings (2nd Battalion Yorks and Lancs) and got badly wounded by shrapnel, spending 4 years in hospital. He was maimed and disfigured for life and was only 21 at the time.

From the poem 'For The Fallen' by Laurence Binyon.... We will remember them
