    They have taken away so many of our joyful celebrations this year, I'm not wanting to celebrate this sombre anniversay.
    Its about remembrance really not a celebration, just bowing your head for 2 minutes on the 11/11 is enough.
    2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

    Sorry my thoughts some one ask as ex forces what I thought of poppys and what they stood for . AS  time  as moved on . The answer I think off the countrys were freedom is taken away The loved ones lost at home not just the battle fromlonline  .I have lost three friends this year thoughts go to there families .  And again as we hit a lock down the NHS  medical staff military staff  on the front line .The unsung heroes

    Today we remember those who have lost their life while fighting in combat to protect our freedoms. 

    We owe our way of live to those brave, amazing people.

    I hope you'll all join me for two minutes of silence at 11am.

    'For those who leave never to return, For those who return but are never the same, We remember'. 

    'They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old,
    Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn,
    At the going down of the sun and in the morning, 
    We will remember them'
     
    Thank you.

    The words, 'They are not old, as we that are left grow old.....' are so simple, & yet so much conveyed in those few words.
    I thought today's service at the Cenotaph was also most poignant, yet simple. Yes, the veterans were missed, but we got to hear a few of them reminisce around the country, thankfully. The impact of the service was, I felt, nonetheless still powerful for all it's simplicity. The few who were there were also representing so many.
