What a gentleman, many would not even have stopped!
Sad to say susan alicia, in this day and age, many would not have stopped to assist, especially as it was a motorcyclist. Some people view all motorcyclists as being violent thugs.
Do you have a link to the pictures?
I hope the weather is good, so that the boat ride can take place.
Thank You milla Ca, I hadn't seen the picture RoyalProtocol was talking about and I did find it a little strange because, as I said he didn't have one on at the memorial dedication last week.Here is the pic with the Queen, Prince Charles and all recipients of the Order of Merit made in October 2007:

If i´m right, Charles doesn´t wear a poppy yet.
The poppies are worn because in World War One the Western Front contained in the soil thousands of poppy seeds, all lying dormant. They would have lain there for years more, but the battles being fought there churned up the soil so much that the poppies bloomed like never before. The most famous bloom of poppies in the war was in Ypres, a town in Flanders, Belgium, which was crucial to the Allied defence. There were three battles there, but it was the second, which was calamitous to the allies since it heralded the first use of the new chlorine gas the Germans were experimenting with, which brought forth the poppies in greatest abundance, and inspired the Canadian soldier, Major John McCrae, to write his most famous poem. This, in turn, inspired the British Legion to adopt the poppy as their emblem.
Thank you love_cc, for all the articles!
