Default If that doesn't put a tear in your eye

Thank You Hanno

That is a touching bit of film and a grand tradition from the people of Holten.

Cheers, Marry Christmas, Seasons Greetings, and Happy New Year.

Default Holten

What a great thing to do - would be good if it were to happen at more of the Commonwealth War cemetaries.
Thanks for sharing this Hanno. I see it was for 2010 - I assume it continues this year?

Default Very moving

Hanno

That was a beautiful thing to put on at Christmas. I found it very moving and bought a tear to my eye. What a wonderful thing for the school kids to do every year and what a beautiful sight with a candle in the snow in front of each grave head stone. I visited the cemetery in 1987 and was impressed then and more so now.

Merry Christmas to you all.

Tony

Default This should be seen by everyone

A beautiful tribute.

I would very much like to see this for myself.

God bless the children of Holten.
