    Debz and I went. Unfortunately we got there late due to the East Lancs being blocked off (Car crash, two young lads involved).
    Then the car got stuck for 10 mins.
    But we went and paid our respects.
    Sorry I missed those who attended.

    Its 70 years ago tonight that people made their way to the Blackstock Gardens Shelter. Its also 70 years since Bentinck Railway Arches were hit killing many. Probably the same wave of planes did both bombings.

    Spare a thought for the victims today.
