As one of the old ones who go on parade every year must admit that we are getting fewer but it gives me heart when you see people standing there paying there respects as you march to the war memorial.

This is by far the best thread, that l have read on this forum, the sad thing is, that if you go to the local church on the day, or memorial, there are still some berks, who don't realise what day it is, and keep on driving, and don't give a damn, WE must remember the fallen, who gave there lifes for our freedom that we take for granted today, and also today, the guys and lasses, who still fight for our country and for the freedom of others, who cannot defend themself, buy a poppy today, and donate what you can afford, every penny counts.
