This year Sam and Dad attended the Remembrance parade in Swaffham.
It was the day after we watched the Lord Mayor's Show in London, and the two parades could not have been more different. In Swaffham the town band led servicemen, veterans, cadets and emergency services to the war memorial on the market place.
The two minutes silence was observed respectfully, and Sam stood at attention throughout.
In a reference to Dad's Army, and in particular to Jonesey's saluting lesson for the platoon, Sam's only comment afterwards was "She gave it a little wiggle."
