I shall not forget.

, May 1915
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields

We will remember them

That was one wonderful remembrance festival in the Albert Hall. Tears in my eyes watching it.

The British certainly know how to "do pomp & circumstance"

great to see so many people show their respect for what other gave .

if all the british soldiers killed in ww1 and ww2 could march 4 abreast past the cenotaph, the column of soldiers would extend from the london cenotaph to newcastle. so glad to see a massive turnout in kidsgrove today
