It's more than a year since the Bomber Command Memorial was dedicated by the Queen.
As principal benefactor to the cost of the Memorial, it is my belief - at a time when the nation seems more aware than ever of both the value of our servicemen and women - that we as a nation should do whatever we can to maintain awareness of just what our armed forces personnel sacrificed to give us the freedoms we have today.
So when I was asked to present a Bomber Command clasp to Harry Hooper, who, I believe, was one of our youngest WWll Lancaster bomber pilots, I jumped at the chance. Indeed, I was honoured and flattered that his family should approach me to make the presentation on the Memorial itself.
Here is how it was reported in print and on TV:
