  • A reminder of all the brave men and women who sacrificed them selfs so that the polotions can sleep easy knowing their not fighting a war.

  • I work with children 3-5 year old at a nursery, We had the 2 min's silence and the children did us proud and stayed quiet which as you can imagine is a hard task to do for children so young. They we're all interested in what it was about and had many questions again at such a young age....Lest We Forget!

  • Thanks to the football nonsense and idiotic TV presenters its now a politically correct act to wear a poppy. It never was so, but you are looked on with suspicion today if you don't. A sad day for what was and is a noble cause.

  • Hello from Chatham, Ontario, Canada.

    I am 33 years of age and I still will never forget. Tomorrow I shall remember not only my grandfather but the many others that fought for the freedoms we have today. Thank-you for the post.

  • Fascinating. Greetings from "across the pond": the United States of America, where tomorrow is Veterans Day on the same day as Remembrance Day in the United Kingdom, Canada, Jamaica, Australia, New Zealand and the rest of the Commonwealth of Nations. "Lest we forget."

    . . . 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.

    (excerpt from 'In Flanders Fields', John MacRae)
