Retired Paras

We went shopping in Morecambe this morning and I had no ideas for a Blip. However then I saw these two 'Lads' who were collecting for the Parachute Regimental Association that does good work for injured Paras. On giving a contribution I asked if they would mind having their photos taken and as you can see they kindly agreed.
As they told their stories I felt humble and grateful. One had done three tours of Northern Ireland in the troubles which couldn't have been much fun. They were enjoying their day doing a great job and the public certainly seemed to be supporting them well.
