POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
Four years ago, I had the honour of meeting Robbie Hall (103, Women’s Auxiliary Airforce) for the very first time and we instantly connected. Her humour and intelligence fascinated me. She was the first one who stood up when we introduced the idea of German soldiers joining the military parade. Robbie said: “I don’t want to be held responsible for the behaviour of my grandparents, so we shouldn’t do that to others either. Besides, the world is a frightening place. We need our friends and thankfully Germany has become a very loyal friend.” Remarkable words from someone who lost the great and only love of her life during the Second World War.

Thank you for your lessons, Robbie. I hope you can continue sharing them with us for many years to come. And that every year, you will keep stepping out of the @taxicharity with exactly the same opening line: “Let’s do a gin & tonic.”

Thank you as well to everyone who made this incredible week possible: all volunteers, partners and visitors. And of course the amazing team of difference-makers at @Wageningen45: jullie hebben iets heel bijzonders neergezet🧡🔥🕊️
