    Had a great time at the dockyard, fantastic to see the three fly pasts from the memorial flight and the red arrows. Glad we were back at home before the storm. Road out the front is nicely flooded now.

    Dad (stubs1310) went saw Gordon Brown and all the events but he got in free because he lives in the dockyard so that was handy!
    Nice to see that my 86-year-old Grandad (ex-Navy during the war he went on 6 different ships and 5 were sunked) was there to see the different events.
