Maybe when you go tomorrow you can ask the curator if you can see the page and have a few minutes with your thoughts

Thanks Teresa, i supose i will take them tomorrow, but, like u say its not the same. The page in the book is turned every day and i'm now wondering what day its on today. Bet its not showing the 14/11/1944.

That is so sad, you would have thought that it would have been kept open today of all days.
Prehaps you could take the flowers tomorrow, I know its not the same but such a shame not to take them in memory of your Uncle.

Took a lovely basket of flowers to the seaman's mission today for my uncle who was killed in action on the 14/11/1944 aged 20. This has been done since he died, my nana used to do it and then my mother after nana died. When my mam died i kept the tradition on, but sadly it wasnt open today. Just a notice saying its only open week days, this has really upset me as i like to look at the book with his name in it and all the other men who gave their lives for our freedom. Now i dont know what to do with the flowers apart from just leaving them in my sitting room. Just doesnt seem the same.
