We should never forget those who were lost through bravery of the highest order

RIP to all the brave men and woman who gave their lives fighting evil.

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.

I did the London to Paris bike ride in 2014 and on day 3 of 4 we stopped at the Theipval monument and museum in the Somme region.
The most humbling experience of my life reading about the details of the conflict and those who sacrificed their life.
The monument itself is awe inspiring.
RIP.

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.

Extinction Rebellion protesters have hung a climate change banner and placed a wreath at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Day.

Look at these disrespectful tw*ts

Sorry I missed this thread somehow.

To all those who fell, and to those who served and have since fallen, lest we forget.

Sadly Leon, this is the problem... the sacrifice made in the 1st & 2nd WW's and since was made by those willing to sacrifice for those tw*ts to have the "freedom of speech"...As Voltaire said ..." I may disagree with what you say , but will defend to the death your right to say it"... It is just a shame that those tw*ts did/do not show the same decency and respect to those who are willing to sacrifice for them... No need to paste memorials with banners such as those. Many places for them to protest and demonstrate.

I agree with you Leon - they are somehow cheapening the Remembrance by equating many veterans' deaths with someone creating atmospheric sins - an abomination in the context.
Their message about climate change may be appropriate but don't hijack Remembrance Day.

Indeed Norm, there is a time & place for everything in life.

Welcome back, have you been ok?
