VE-Day crowds encroaching
on Winston Churchill's open car, in the
City of London's Parliament Square today,
did Irish Guardsman Ivor White (circled)
a big favour when they pushed him on to
the running-board of the slowly moving vehicle.
Ivor eagerly stretched out his hand
towards Winnie, and shouted the Irish Guards
famous battle-cry . . . "Up,
The Micks".
Grasping the Guardsman's
hand momentarily, Winston replied .
. . "Well done The Micks"
and a few brief seconds of history were
to remain in this soldier's memory for a
lifetime.
