We had a great introduction given by a Pensioner, followed by a very interesting talk by a historian who has interviewed over forty Pensioners about their experiences.

In addition we visited the photograph exhibition and saw a video about some of the adventurous exploits of modern Pensioners.<br /><br />On our way out we had a walk through the Hospital's graveyard ... where we found the place where the ashes of Lady Thatcher (the former A Prime Minister) and her husband - Sir Denis Thatcher Bt. - are buried.<br /><br />It was a very interesting day out.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-33858596534144016562018-05-31T11:39:06.085+01:002018-05-31T11:39:06.085+01:00Sounds like a fascinating day!
