Today was Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of World War 1 on 11th November, 1918.
Sadly, things being as they were today, I didn’t really have time to appreciate it.
However, my thoughts have been on the sacrifices made by the millions of soldiers who lost their lives fighting a senseless, pointless war in the bloody fields of France.
There may now be only a handful still alive, but not one of them will ever be forgotten.

Did you see the three veterans in their wheelchairs, bless them? It seems the oldest (at 112) wanted to stand to lay his wreath, but despite some help from two younger people he couldn’t quite make it to his feet. One of the others spoke about his memories and it was obviously still difficult for him, even after all this time, when he remenbered his friends dying so young.

Hi Sandy, yes it was a very moving sight. The oldest guy was so determined to do it himself wasn’t he. So sad to see him fail.
