Snapper Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Greetings - The Barnes clan were at Twickenham for the Help For Heroes international rugby match on Saturday. Fifty-two thousand people turned out for the game, led by Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, who, to their credit, managed to take part in a Mexican wave. The match was scrappy and to be honest, I found it difficult to follow; but we were not there for top class sport. The marines who abseiled down from the roof with military flags and the Union Flag were very impressive. I'd seen snaps of an RAF Chinook practicing a landing in the stadium; but presumably they decided against it. Shame. Half time entertainment was provided by Escala, who looked alright on the screen. We came home via a restaurant and made it home in two hours, much better than the three and a bit to get there from Southend. snaps follow.
