The Battle of Britain 75th Anniversary

Jason Isaacs tweeted this, you have probably all seen it, but I just wanted it here too.

Very emotional, both Jason's reading and the music...

For those of us who don't tweet (that would be just me), I thank you, thunder.

That gave me goose bumps.

Thanks for this Thunder, I don't Read Twitter.

The moving words are from Shakespeare's Henry V - yet still so appropriate for the Battle of Britain over 500 years later than Agincourt.

Thanks for the info, Servalan. Those were powerful words, and with the music, it was even more.... and I'm not even British...

I just watched this now. It was very moving, and I agree, Thunder, the music made it even better.
