Cenotaph louts; Your Say.THE article Poignant Parade (News, 14.09.09) is a reminder of how many local soldiers, aircrew and sailors have lost their lives in defence of this realm. Veterans of campaigns such as the Battle of Britain Battle of Britain, in World War II, series of air battles between Great Britain and Germany, fought over Britain from Aug. to Oct., 1940. As a prelude to a planned invasion of England, Germany attacked British coastal defenses, radar stations, and shipping. On Aug. and civic-minded young people such as Middlesbrough Sea Cadets all took part in this year's parade. With great sadness, almost every day we hear of more casualties in Afghanistan and Iraq. Last week two louts full of alcohol and holding lager cans were rolling around the base of the Cenotaph cenotaph (Greek: “empty tomb”) Monument, sometimes in the form of a tomb, to a person buried elsewhere. Ancient Greek writings tell of many cenotaphs, none of which survives. Existing cenotaphs of this type are found in churches (e.g. , laughing and puffing on cigarettes.

Luckily police were also passing and the youths were thrown into the back of a van. Albert Park and the Cenotaph are within the alcohol exclusion zone and anyone caught drinking in the vicinity by the police or the wardens are likely to have the alcohol disposed of. The signs warning of this will be in place very soon. Our Cenotaph is a very precious monument and the people of Middlesbrough have great affection for it and the new signs will help greatly to protect it.
