  1. Next Sunday is rememberance Sunday in the UK.

    Its a day we remember those have fallen protecting our country during WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and all of the other
     
  2. Oops fail i hit send by accident!

    …And all the other wars we have encountered as a united force.

    We remember this by wearing poppies, which grew around the graves of the fallen during WW1.

    During the run up to this we see many veterans trying to raise money for the poppy appeal. These gentlemen always look so proud of protecting our country during the worst periods of history. As they should do.

    Without all the men who sacrificed their lifes for us who knows what world we would live in now
    There may not of even be an English language in England.

    On the sunday that falls closest to 11/11 we hold 2 minutes silence at 11 for these men and women out of respect. This year it is on a sunday. There are also rememberance parades.

    I just want you all to be respectful on this day. Do the 2 minutes silence. Without those men you may not have been here today.

    In our hearts always
