I understand but have never suffered at all, so my heart goes out to all those that have seen and experienced things that I never have.

I'll be taking my usual spot at the Cenotaph in the morning then photographing the remaining members of WW2 Bomber Command at their annual get-together.
I never had the honour to serve but appreciate immensely those who did.
Thank you. Thank you. I love my country and a huge part of that is down to you all.

Pixie Lott giggling during one of the hymns was not classy at all.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
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.

Very humbling - incredible respect for those who fight/fought and served.
This is something that makes me very proud to be English and something our country does amazingly well.

My son brought a poppy yesterday and asked the old boy if he could take some poppy stickers so his football team could stick on there football tops for there game today. The chap was really touched and the thought,
Got stuffed 10-1 all very proud as they held the minute silence in great grace with the poppy stickers in on there tops.

On a day of respect and rememberance to our fallen heroes, did that national embarrassment, Corbyn, get dressed in the dark? Clearly, his view for the day was 'anything Foot can do, I can do better'. Absolute disgrace.
Doc.

Some prat had to mention that.
I guess you also say he didn't bow down enough.
He wore a dignified suit, not with wide lapels and wings flapping around
Cameron practically sucked his own cock on the way down.
