    Red face Nearly gatecrashed a military funeral

    Stopped off in Shawbury, Shropshire, to have a look inside the church there but it was just my luck to find that there was a funeral in progress, someone from nearby RAF Shawbury. There was an armed (and loaded? ) guard-of-honour



    After the funeral there was a fly past by helicopters from the RAF base

    I was walking round the Shawbury area and they were all over. Even saw a couple of those big ones - Chinooks?
