We Will Remember Them - A Nation's Thank You

On 11 November 1918, the guns of World War One fell silent and to commemorate the centenary on a sunny autumn morning, I was part of The People's Parade, from the Mall to the Cenotaph.

Along the way, I fell in with these lovely people. We all had a story to tell of relatives who had fallen in the Great War. We shared those stories while waiting for 11am to arrive.

The service itself was sombre and melancholy, and we all queued up to file in silence past the rows and rows of wreaths, remembering individuals and teams of people who had been lost to war. The sunshine was both warming and in stark contrast to some of the conditions that soldiers have fought and died in.

We will remember them.
