City Salute

We wanted to go to this event yesterday evening, outside St Paul's Cathedral in London. Organised under the patronage of Princes William and Harry it was a salute to the armed forces and an effort to raise funds for the institutions treating injured servicemen and women. Which ought to be fully funded, and well funded from government sources but are not.
We couldn't go so I had to watch on television.  Below from the
London Evening Standard is the photo, or one very like it (being taken by a professional this one is better, being in focus and other desirable features) I wanted to attempt to take.

St Paul's Cathedral City Salute 7 May 2008

Ross Kemp the actor read an essay by Field Marshal Viscount Slim on the qualities needed by a soldier. I am trying now to find the text and from the references to it I have turned up so far I am not the only person searching. If and when, as and when I find it I will post it here. It is worth reading, or watching again.
