I have not been watching but what I have heard on't radio is very moving. The November remembrance day always gets me going.
"When you go home, tell them of us and say
For their tomorrow, we gave our today. "
There is now a very lovely War memorial in the centre of Crewe of all places.
The war memorial itself used to be in a rather nondescript square by M&S and some quite unattractive 1960's shops.
That was moved a few years ago to lovely gardens outside the old Victorian Town Hall, Market. A decent looking modern Library and court house. The gardens have been laid out and paved with tributes to the Armed services. That has become a really attractive place to hold such a ceremony now.
What might have happened without that Dday "big push" we can only speculate.
