Looking forward to next year's Prom following what was probably my most enjoyable evening of entertainment.
The closing aerial firework display that accompanied Royal Regiment of Fusiliers (Reserves) Band playing Holst's 'Mars' from the 'Planets Suite' were, on their own, worth the price of the ticket.
Music from the 1930's, favourites of the big screen and Elton John were included in the band programme.
A selection of nautical music had the audience clapping 100mph to match the increasing speed at which the band played the Hornpipe. 'Rule Britannia' had them singing along and waving the Union Flag.
Two soloists sang items from opera and Simon and Garfunkel.
'Land of Hope and Glory' prompted further singing and flag-waving.
Although the openair performance was not due to start until 8pm the public, complete with fold-up chairs and picnics, lined-up two hours earlier in order to bag the best spots on the lawn in front of the stage.
A hat, a coat and an umbrella are advised in case of an odd shower.

It is a place where one can find peace and solitude and yet be surrounded by hundreds of other like minded people.you chose what you want to see and it helps to find out how others have given for us.

Visited here by accident with my family aged 9to 64.
WOW an amazing heart tugging place.
The whole place is beautifully done & shows a massive amount of respect for all servicemen woman and animals and their families. The amount of effort that has gone into the arboretum is wonderful.
A must visit by anyone

I am a 25 year Army "Veteran" and have lived most of my working career overseas. Recently I returned to the UK and one of the first sites I had to visit was the National Memorial Arboretum.
Well, I was not disappointed. I was humbled at the sheer numbers of Veteran Volunteers both front and back of house working tirelessly to keep the memorial in tip-top condition. Full credit to them all.
The Arboretum (a botanical garden devoted to trees) is exactly what it says it is. there are over 400 memorials positioned subtly amongst the trees and open grassed lawns that are dedicated to our servicemen and women, civil service, civil defence, special operatives, and overseas servicemen and women, of all kinds including the Travelling Entertainment Society.
It is a beautiful place just to visit and to either take the land train or to walk around the grounds just taking in the sites.
Considering that there are a high proportion of elderly visitors to the site I would have expected a few more public toilets located in subtle hideaways around the grounds. The attraction is FREE to enter, which is amazing, as I would have thought that there would be a small charitable admission fee, at least for the upkeep of the property. It has all-day car parking priced at only £3.00. Food and light refreshments are available on-site, plenty of wheelchair and motor chair access.
This is a good say out for all, it teaches us about history and respect for our fallen heroes.

A sad yet wonderful place. Seeing your friends names on the walls and in the gardens and woods is truly sad. Knowing that they are remembered for all to see is wonderful. Do not put off a visit. Even without an agenda it's a great experience.
