Nearly 75 years ago but tough to watch this story about 10 US Airmen and one alive but ailing 82 year old Brit still feeling guilty and not feel moved

"Just met an amazing man in Endcliffe Park, Sheffield. Tony Foulds was an 8-yr-old playing in the park when a US plane crashed in Feb 1944. He has diligently maintained the memorial ever since. He was planting new flowers. Almost 75 yrs of service. What a man. I’m in bits . . .

Tony said he still feels guilty because if he hadn’t been in the park that day the plane could have landed safely. Instead the pilot avoided the children and crashed into the hill. "

Well he got his flypast and that bit was good

Sadly the BBC made an act of remembrance into a crass TV show and what looked like a cheap village fete
