Festival of Remembrance
This question is only sort of related to family history but I have run out of ideas for people to contact (even the Royal British Legion can’t help!)
In the 1950s I was a Scout and assisted in selling programmes at the Festival of Remembrance at the Albert Hall. At the time Ralph Reader was the organiser and/or compere.
I distinctly recall all the participants marching down Kensington High Street between the afternoon and evening performances to have tea and I’m sure we went to Derry and Toms. I am currently writing up our family history and would love to have confirmation that my memory is not at fault. Is there anyone out there who might remember this happening?
