I'm just watching the Rememberence Service, always do and shed a few tears. Good bless those brave souls who have died serving their country and fighting for us, every single one of them from the first who died in 1914 to today! |

I listened to the radio whilst it was being broadcast, managed to find a mo in a quiet room to have a little thought.
my respect goes go out to all those that deserve it. |

Some of my strongest childhood memories are of the Rememberance Days in London.
We would all stand and watch the march, then go to an Ex Servicemans club. I had 13 Aunts and Uncles and all the associated family and it was a once a year all get together round the piano sing song a few too many sweet sherries kind of day.
Can still remember the uniforms and medals and feeling of pride and loss even now.

I took part in several Rememberance Day parades in Lincoln whilst in the RAF and even now thirty years later I still can remember the powerful silence of Lincoln cathedral, full to over-flowing as hundreds stood in rememberance of those who died. |
