New York on Remembrance Day hosted a huge street parade on 5th Avenue - school marching bands, veterans, army, navy and air force, as well as community groups made a colourful and sometimes noisy showing.

At Rockerfeller Plaza the day was celebrated with a ring of American flags around the skating rink under the Prometheus statue.

Later that night we joined the audience at one of Broadway's hottest tickets, 'Jersey Boys', the story of Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons.  The show was slick, and and it was easy to see why the crowds are flocking to it.
