Commemoration in Figueres

Further to my last post, much has happened regarding the tribute to Reg Miles. The students and teachers of Ramon Muntaner High School, the Mayor and City Councillors of Figueres, the director of the Toy Museum and others have planned a full schedule for the 21 October. There will be a significant presence of New Zealanders representing the Miles family, the Spanish Embassy and Consulate, the Royal New Zealand Artillery and others – happily including myself! The RNZA have commissioned a bronze by Matt Gaudi for the permanent exhibition.

This promises to be a moving and profound event, all the more so because it has been the students’ initiative.
