My mum and my daughter, just a candid picture I got , they didn’t know I’d taken it.

I don’t know them mate but it made me feel so proud.

An interesting thing to do is on social media look at all the commentators banging on about poppies and Muslims - Grimes earlier was particularly odious whilst displaying a colossal lack of knowledge about the religion of of soldiers who fought and died and continue to fight for the UK. But go back in their timeline and there is a 3/4 day window annually where poppies are a concern - for the rest of the time they don't get a mention

Thanks mate just a picture I got from a split second my mums not well and couldn’t manage the full service so it was from yesterday when my daughter was selling poppies , .

She's not sat at home scrolling through tiktok, she's out selling poppies. You can be very proud.

BBC news website reports that the last six British survivors of D-Day were there, being wheeled past the Cenotaph in their wheelchairs. One of them, aged 101, got out of the chair and went upright on his walking frame for the last few yards to show his respect. The report added that during the silence the crowd even put down their cell phones.

I was packing up the barries after the service and I was the only one there. Just felt the need to take a picture. I'm not in the slightest religious but just felt the need to take a picture. It felt so peace

Kudos to the 3 or 4 young people who took the wreaths from each section and displayed them carefully and beautifully. Like @A57 the snake’s daughter they were showing their respect in their own way.

I used to go to a ceremony but the past couple of years have only been able to watch on TV. Always moving. :-)

Sir Keir Starmer will attend Armistice Day commemorations in France today - the first UK leader to do so since Winston Churchill joined General de Gaulle in 1944.
