    To add to the story, the large building we see just after the clips from the Last Post Ceremony is the Cloth Hall, and cats are thrown from the hall's belfry during the Cat Parade. Not real cats, of course.
    It, along with pretty much all of Ypres, was destroyed in World War I, but was reconstructed exactly as it had been beforehand.

    I remember my first time driving on the right - it took a fair bit of concentration but the 2nd year I did it, everything felt much more natural.

    Enjoyed this very much because I’m driving to Bruges in two weeks time. I have booked with DFDS to Dunkirk too. Will watch part two now.

    I'm with you on the lack of "Cruise Control". It's the one thing I miss the most, but fortunately don't drive THAT far. The ferry looked awesome. Do you ever give your friend a chance to drive the Panda? 🤣

      I think it is possible to retro fit cruise control, I might look into it.

      @@DanielDrives It’ll never look great, because you’ll need bits of wiring and kit. Also, in a manual, cruise control is not as useful, so IMHO, not worth the effort.

    Having participated in the Last Post Ceremony I know how moving it is. Not even the fact that the three-yearly Cat Parade was on immediately before could take that away.
    Please tell me you attempted at least a few words of Dutch while you were there!
