This morning Jon, Emily and I attended the Rememberance Day service at the War Memorial in East Grinstead. I find Rememberance Day very moving and today was no different. It reminds us of the need to remember all the men and women who served in the different wars, the ones who didn't come home again and the families that were left behind. But also, to remember the young men and women who are serving their countries today and their families at home.
This is always a very moving ceremony and although I was not in town, I watched the ceremony at the Cenotaph on the BBC programme. Such a sad occasion and I am always moved to tears, as I was last night when watching the poppies float down at the Service in the Royal Albert Hall. I hope that the generations to come will never forget the sacrifice of all the brave young men.
