You've been framed... Your Majesty?

At the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall last Saturday one of the small girls in the poppy girls choir was reduced to tears when her R.N. officer father - whom she believed to be serving in the Seychelles - appeared in the Hall.  Loud applause and many a secret tear in the audience at their reunion.  Anybody else find that creepy and rather disturbing?  These are real people for Heaven's sake - not puppets to be manipulated for our entertainment. And I can't help feeling that, if you were intent on doing that sort of thing, you could scarcely have chosen a more inappropriate time and place - a solemn ceremony in the presence of the Queen??  What next?  Strictly Come Poppying with Bruce Forsyth?
