Tinx thanks for this, it made me think of my old dad and mum, on what was an important day for them both, dad a London boy who served in WW2 in the Royal Sussex Regiment and mum served in the ATS on anti aircraft sites around London.

The march that always did it for them both was the old man's regimental march, another quick march, which was  'Sussex by the Sea' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5DGtI1VV0c.  Ordinary men and women from an extra-ordinary generation.
