Brilliant Dad and Daughter night at the The Tower of London for the Ceremony of the Keys.

Fascinating that the tradition still lives on today with all the pomp and ceremony that goes with it. Great event hosted by Blesma and RAF Association raising funds for two fantastic charities

Reginald Webb joined the Army in WW2 🎖️

He fought in the Battle of Arnhem, helping paratroopers cross the River Rhine. Reg was hit 6 times by machine-guns, losing his right leg.
