    They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old,
    Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn,
    At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
    We will remember them.

    BBC just interviewed son of a Barnsley pal at the memorial in France. He mentioned Little Houghton pit.
    Showed briefly a poppy wreath from Monk Bretton.

    Went to the Town Hall to pay my respects. Sobering and very, very moving.
