Memorial Day Celebration #Nipclub Thursday, May 29, 2025

Join us this week for a Memorial Day Celebration
(Memorial Day in the US was last Monday, the 26th, this year)


A few facts about Memorial Day:


Memorial Day honors US military service members who died while serving our country.

In 1966, Congress and President Lyndon Johnson declared Waterloo, NY the 'birthplace' of Memorial Day because on May 5, 1866, they began honoring veterans by closing businesses that day so the residents could decorate the graves of the veterans who fought and died in the Civil War with flowers and American flags.


Memorial Day was established as a federal holiday in 1971 and moved to the last Monday in May


We visit a few local cemeteries here and see how many American flags and flowers have been placed on veterans graves annually by local organizations.

Other countries also honor their fallen veterans.

Come join us when we visit London, UK to attend the annual Chelsea Flower show!


So, for those of us who don't live in the UK, what is the Chelsea Flower show?

The Flower Show runs for five days in May.

It's run by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) on the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea in Chelsea, London.

It's been held in this location since 1912, with only two breaks for the two World Wars.

157,000 people from all over the world attend annually. Tickets must be purchased in advance.

The venue is 11 acres.

The gardens are built from scratch in nineteen days, and then dismantled after the event in five days.

157,000 people from all over the world attend annually to see gardens created by some of the world's most prestigous gardeners and artisans.

There are awards in multiple categories with awarded medals for the exhibit winners.

Plus, it's a great reason to visit London!


Here are a few pictures from some past shows.
