WELL DONE COLCHESTER..!
Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 09:50AM Delighted to see the good people of the English town of Colchester take to the streets and give a fantastic show of appreciation to the British Army's 16 Air Assault Brigade, returning after its second tour in Afghanistan. A sea of pensioners, parents, children and shopkeepers stood shoulder to shoulder with World War II veterans to cheer on 350 troops as they marched past. Here's just one amazing image..the best of British on display.

David -
If I had my camera with me I'd have posted a few photos. I was in the area for a meeting, heard about it so switched off the mobile and along I went.
What a splendid turn out it was too. Truly, it gladdened to heart to see the people of the great and patriotic county of Essex turn out for their finest. There was a real sense of the admiration and affection in the crowd.
It's enough to make a liberal gag.
Truly marvellous Colchester!!!
Wonderful! Love to see all of those flags, too.
Very good photo. Welcome back lads.
Great Photo.
Sometimes,if you have nothing good to say, better to say nothing at all!
Tremendous turnout by the locals and the regiments make me proud to be British.
The support is for the troops not the misguided policies of the Government. The people dont want our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
British troops welcomed home by british people in a british town.
