    Paul,
    Totally agree.
    I did ask about that, and I was told they had tried in vain, but we are hoping that because it is a special event ie 100 years since the end of WW1 they may back down and not be so pompous.
    I have to say also there are a lot of people buried in our graveyard that probably have less right than he to be there, some of whom, (I know they are not military), lived here only for a short time!
    But things have certainly change 100 years on........I hope!
