Belgium is fairly relaxed about lorries and units parking on the road side as long as you do not block a cycle lane or fire hydrants
Plus the old soldiers still like us.
These are things that make a man feel humble.
Wonderfull experience listening to the last post been there before & if any copper wants to complain about you taking a unit to pay your respects at the gate they should be ashamed of themselves!
Sorry though i went in a car so can’t help you!
Took the kids there before we moved to Calgary , all them names on the gate its so moving . Well worth the trip also took the kids to an old WW1 Museum with trenches, made even better because it was raining so the kids got a real idea what it must have been like all them years ago. Got the name of a great little B & B in the town centre
