Festival of Remembrance from the Albert Hall

Not usually my type of thing but I found myself watching and was impressed by the dignified and sensitive tone.
No jingoism, no more Blue Birds Over the White Cliffs of Dover but a sincere and moving tribute to the young men and women of our armed services who risked and lost their lives this century.
I wonder how many people think these tributes apply to our fathers or grandfathers in wars nearly a hundred years ago, and belong in the past.
But listening to first hand accounts of conflicts of recent memory and looking at the representatives of our armed services I felt so proud of them .
