My dad took his wife to the ballet in the summer as it is something she always wanted to see. He had no interest whatsoever but really enjoyed it, might not be as bad as you think.
Still, rather you than me

Now to get them properly framed up - if anyone has any knowledge in this area and can identify what the medals are, and why the plaque, then that would be great. Am happy to research myself, but happy to listen to anyone who knows.

What service was the gentleman in? Approx yrs etc and google search on UK medals for period should be no problem. I expect The legion might know, and also know a framer.

He was lost at sea aged 17, but I don't think he was actually in the navy - possibly Merchant navy? The ship was a trawler for mining cables, sunk by a U-boat.

The two medals are both from WW1. The one on the left is the Victory Medal and the one on the right is The British War Medal. Not sure about the one in the middle. I used Chartwell Gallery in Southchurch Road for framing my dad's medals. Not sure if they are still there.

Ref the above Mr Palmer.
The war memorial is on the hill over looking the barracks and docks. Road access is limited so park and walk up is good.
I know this as a Great Uncle, Marine Commando Sgt D Rattenbury is on the WW2 wall there, killed Walcheran Nov 1944 when his landing craft took direct hit, no survivors or bodies.
I hope you visit Kay as it is well worth the day out.

Make sure you use Art Tech Framing in Canvey they do a fantastic job.
