Default Derek Best (Windrush)

Hello everyone

This weekend sees the annual veterans parade take place at Weymouth in which 75 and ZT Owners Club member Derek Best (Windrush) always took part and marched alongside his fellow service men and women for many years.
I will place a flower on behalf of the Owners Club members at the Weymouth war memorial again this year. Derek had many friends on the forum so I thought that our members may like to see a photograph of the tribute.
Thanks Ian

Thank you for such a heart warming act Ian. I'm sure all of Derek's friends in the North East will see it as a fitting tribute to a true English gentleman

Echo those sentiments totally Rod, thank you Ian, Derk was well liked and respected in here, his presence is missed greatly. The chill out zone ain’t what it used to be without Derek’s morning greetings to everyone.:
