I've always loved the James brooch. QEQM is basically blind here, and she should have been in a wheel chair instead of using her walking sticks, but the zest for life is still there.

There may have been a suggestion of using a wheelchair, but, believe me, the answer would have been a smile and a gentle but firm 'No'.

Yep, no wheelchair. You can tell by the QM's expression, how much the Ceremony meant to her. Actually, the entire Remembrance Week was very moving for QEQM.
