Not only did the annual fete of my workplace go very well despite the weather but I also received some photos my youngest 1/2 brothers mother sent of medals and clothing from when my dad was in the Parachute regiment back in the late 60s - early 70s, 2 pictures of my dad one taken in the 70's and another taken in the 1996 (the year he died in South Africa) and a photo of my youngest 1/2 brother aged 10. He was born 2 months after our dad died. I am so happy.

Thanks, All the photos made me happy but the important ones were the up to date photo of my youngest 1/2 brother and the one of my dad taken in the year he died. We were not close at all (family split when I was young) but when I heard he had died it really hurt. Fi
