Story

I want to send this personal message of thanks to all our veterans and recognise the sacrifices they and their comrades made in World War 2 and since.
On this 75th anniversary of VE Day, I'd like to celebrate with my own interpretation of the classic song, 'There'll Be Bluebirds Over the White Cliffs of Dover'.
Please watch and donate towards the wonderful Royal Hospital Chelsea. 
Our veteran Chelsea Pensioners deserve all we can give at this difficult time. Thank you.
Love Straker
