Climb every mountain

I took my chance with parking this afternoon and ran from the car into the little garden without putting any money into the meter. How to live dangerously!

The plaque on the left of this memorial says:

A tribute to Robert Whitehead (1823-1905).
A member of the Whitehead family of Bury. 
He invented the torpedo.
His daughter Agatha von Trapp was the grandmother of the children whose escapades were featured in the film 'The Sound of Music'.

The plaque on the right says:

Roll of Honour
Enshrined in this torpedo are the names of officers and ratings who gave their lives during service in the Coastal Forces branch of the Royal Navy in World War II, 1939-45.
Let Light Eternal Shine Upon Them.
The full inventory is contained in the 'book of remembrance' which is on display in Bury Parish Church.

I blipped the clock tower in the background on 26 October which you can 
see here.

Quote for today:
You cry a little, and then you wait for the sun to come out. It always does.
