When Derek passed I commented that I would always remember him marching proudly with his comrades along Weymouth sea front at the annual veterans parade and promised that there would be a floral tribute to Derek at the Weymouth cenotaph in place for the 2018 veterans event.
The plan was to lay it on the day of the Portland meet so that we could all share the moment. Unfortunately I'd forgotten about the half marathon event in town the same day so it would have been impossible to find parking for us all. Hence the wreath laying had to be postponed until the following day.

Regards Ian

What a great gesture Ian, it’s these things that make this so much more than a car forum.

Cheers mate 👍👍
