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.

I was at the Remembrance Ceremony at the Cenotaph in Omagh, N Ireland. Very moving, many proud old soldiers in attendance. Sadly fewer each year I suspect…..

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

Even more concerning is our politicians and “leaders” seem to have forgotten what our grandparents gave their lives fighting against.

Just paid my respects at the memorial in Ashton.

Quite a few there. Young and old.

Lest we forget....

I was shocked when I read the attached article. So sad.

Hi,

I've amended the thread title, I hope you don't mind. I think it's too important a topic to be marred by a simple spelling mistake.

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.

Thanks.

No sweat.

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.

Many many thanks to all the people who fought for us and kept the country going whilst war raged, I always spare a thought for the poor bastards used as cannon fodder on the other side of the war too because they never asked for it.
