Imperial War Museum visit

Over in England with offspring so we had a day at Imperial War Museum which I have not visited in 20+ years. 

Unsurprisingly a few changes but still a great day out, the Holocaust exhibit was particularly poignant (no photography allowed) and interestingly one of the monetary contributors noted on a plaque is Mr Roman Abramovitch which just emphasises the temporary nature of national ‘friendships’ and interests.
