We Won't Forget You - The Buffs.

This is my favourite part of Canterbury Cathedral. It is a St Michael's Chapel also called Warriors Chapel because of its several monuments in memory of soldiers from different eras of English history.
The flags above are banners of the The Buffs - The Royal East Kent Regiment.
