What is the History? Royal British Legion Remembrance Sunday Cenotaph 2 minute silence Why Poppies?

In Flanders Fields 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. Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD ( ) Canadian Army

Menin Gate in Ypres Is Remembrance still relevant today? “If we are to maintain our peace and freedom, we must always remember”

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. Extract from ‘For the Fallen’ by Laurence Binyon Please pause and reflect During the playing of the ‘Last post’

Let us never forget that we owe our freedom to the sacrifice of so many! Wear your poppy with pride

Let us never forget!
