Thanks Steph! Loved the pics and the video! :D

@Nicole L. – I so agree with you! Georgie was a cute kid, and now she’s becoming a very pretty young girl! :)

And Ben… *sigh*

I registered and like two minutes ago i clicked the link and Ben was reading a poetry. I saw just 30 second of him, I just catched the end of the poetry. Unfortunately I couldn’t do screen caps, maybe one but It’s not a good one. But he was very elegant and handsome. :)

I watched the webcast. Ben read two poems – In Memoriam by E. A. Mackintosh and A Listening Post by R.E Vernede. It was very poignant.

It was two minutes silence in the square, and Ben was on the stage again. I did some screen scaps.

Ananas said:

=S

He was also there during the 2 minutes silence?! Shame on me, I watched and couldn’t find him on stage…

He was in the right side next to the soldier who played the trumpet.

Those were some really beautiful poems, got goosebumps halfway through. Did a few screencaps (not much as I was too busy listening) but something went wrong and now I only have one. Oh well…

By the way, I saw they are going to post the “highlights” on their youtube channel later, so I’m very much hoping they consider Ben a highlight ;)

Vicky said:

I hope Ben will be a highlight too. Well of course he is. :D

those are really great even though i miss Ben’s long hair (he looks more gorgeous in long hair) Georgie has grown much since Prince Caspian. Feels good to see them all together,would have been wonderful if Skander Will and Anna were also there… :-)

@Galene, thanks for letting us know about the poems – you and Caroline were so lucky to see him!

I was at work, had the BBC website open but couldn’t see any links to anything :-( I so wish I could have seen it. Hopefully it will surface on Youtube soon …

Now to see the wet Caspian clip … :-D

@Nightshade, you are welcome :)
“I am quite a bit older than most of you, but did anyone have any relatives or friends of family etc fight in World War One?”
I`ll answer your question here. My great-grandma`s father Sergey fought in WW1. He have been wounded and gassed but he returned home after the war. Great-grandma said he talked very little since his return. He died soon at a young age. We still keep his triangular letters from the front.
