128/365: This is your hour

This is not victory of a party or of any class. It's a victory of the great British nation as a whole.

Winston Churchill - 8 May 1945

My tribute, on the 70th anniversary of VE day, to Kenneth and Ernest Bingham (2 of my mum's cousins) and to all those who gave their lives so we could enjoy the freedom and democracy we take for granted today.

I also had a huge amount of respect for Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg for attending the London ceremony this afternoon. I had to just mention that.
