Remembrance Day

Just come back from our local service paying respects

Very moving as it always is-We owe so much to all of them!
Anyone else been to Theirs?
Unfortunately ours is at 3pm and i'll be on the way to the game, we should all remember the sacrifice of the British population in two world wars and other conflicts.
 
just been to swintons good turn out good group of cadets which is always nice to see just shame could hear service which is nothing new ( it cant be that difficult to get pa everyone can hear )
 
Last night I watched a film directed by Guy Ritchie.
It was based on Churchills memoirs that were classified as secret until recently. Basically against Parliament and top army officers, he sent a team of outsiders/renegades to blow up a U boat supply ship. It would seem everyone at that time was against the mission and advocating surrender to Hitler apart from Churchill and a few others. If true that's how close we were to German rule.
The mission was succesful and we fought on, at great cost it must be said.
We owe so much to these brave men and women.
We should always remember them.
 
Wallington south London. Lovely to see such mixed crowd of young and old. Remembering all those who gave their lives for our freedom. Especially the O'Brien lads from Killowen Coleraine

Just back from a remembrance service. Sang ‘O God our help in ages past’ and I always feel hopeful when singing the line ‘..and our defence is sure’ on a match day.

I hope the scousers show some respect at the minutes silence later on. Though I can see them doing something to ruin it which will be swept under the carpet as usual.

Exactly the same problem at our service in Eastbourne. Big turnout but no sound system. Once a year job but they still muck it up.
