Thread Name: Menim Gate Singer (Menin Gate?)
Subject: Menim Gate Singer - 3rd November 2006
Who was the Singer at the Menim Gate Ceremony in Ypres, 3rd November 2006

        As usual, this year's 'Flanders Experience' festival started with attendance at the 8:00pm Last Post Ceremony at the Menim Gate in Ypres. At this time of year the basic ceremony where the local Fire Brigade play the last post, was augmented with wreath laying by several school children and young people. This was followed by the singing of a song by a young lady with a stunning voice and superb presentation.

        Unfortunately, in the crush of people milling around after the ceremony it was impossible to get across the road to where the singer had been standing, well not on my electric disabled scooter it wasn't. I would have like to have congratulated her on her performance and find out who she is. I'm sure she has the potential to be a singer we could hear a lot more of in the future.

        Does anyone know who that singer might be?

All the best,
