We were among a few who went down to the Falklands Yomper on Armistice Day at the 11th hour to pay our respects, and who took the short walk to the memorial garden in the grounds of the former Royal Marines barracks and museum. It’s good to have it regularly confirmed in the cold light of day that the Yomper is still in place - and that the plan to relocate him from his position atop his mound overlooking the Solent remains mercifully shelved - at least for now.
