"Lest We Forget"
Just watched the Festival Of Remembrance , will be off to Cenotaph in the morning.
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them." "Absent Friends"

Weather was good , large crowd and so many proud men , women and children marching past the Cenotaph.
Most touching moment was when 3 Chindits veterans were helped out of their wheelchairs so that they could 'march' past the monument.

In France, a very important day. In the Village I live in, which is small, they read out the names of every person from the village killed from WW1 onwards.
I will follow up with a few pics of the local military who attended for anyone interested. I know precious little of French insignia, but I understand these are Engineers from the nearest Army base, which is in Nîmes. Lest we forget |
