Remembrance

Right!
Hope the judge ( who asked me , should we? To which I repliedYES. Agrees to the words. That is, if I, can get through them without tears.

When you go home, remember this,
For your tomorrows, WE GAVE OUR TODAY!

RIP

So, to answer your question Galen - yes, do.

yogagran, I always feel drained after the Festival of Remembrance. I can usually hold it together until Sunset but that always finishes me off. I don't normally like choral singing plonked on top of a military classic but it really worked this time.

The children were lovely...the Poppy Girls and the chorister. How brave they are to sing in such awesome surroundings where the emotion is so evident.

We've just watched the Festival of Remembrance together - my (Afghan) boys were quite moved by it. I explained about the two minutes silence and they thought it was a very good idea to stop and remember. I do love my boys.........whoever would have thought that something so good could have come from such sadness.

I've just been watching the programme about the war horses [sob]. Will be watching my grandson parade with the Beavers tomorrow. And I'll shed a tear for all those that have lost their lives in any war, whatever their nationality.

Yes, galen Without doubt.

Go for it Galen I shall be driving up the M1/M6 on our way to celebrate DHSs 2nd birthday but I will be thinking of all those victims of war on both sides of each conflict.

I've just been watching the Festival of Remembrance from the Albert Hall. It was such a moving, poignant ceremony. Yes, we should definitely observe the two minutes silence, it is good that we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice so we could be a free nation
