Remembering
Britain fell silent at 11.00am today as millions paid tribute to those who gave their lives in war. The two-minute silence at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month represents the moment when the guns fell silent in November 1918 at the end of the First World War.
I will never forget what my Grandfather and the millions of soldiers have done for us. Sacrifice their health, strength and even their lives, so that we might live in a free country.

I concur.
In 1999 I helped get tins back in the Union for the Poppy Appeal and they're still there, though its good that the pacifist tradition also have their white poppies given Abers history.
Its worth remembering the cost. My grandad was gassed in the first world war and the other was heavy rescue in the Blitz. Lets ensure their legacy is a conflict reduced world where every nation can live in peace.
