11.11.11

I should have saved my 11,111th post for now, then I could say I had 11,111 posts on the 11.11.11 :( it happened yesterday

But never forget.
 
Remember a date is important. Remember the values and sacrifices made that delivered this date is far more important. Same as the poppy - it isn't terribly English at all but remember what it stands for.
 
Instead of posting in here it would be great if some of you turn up at your local Cenotaph on Sunday.
I've been going every year since I was a teenager and amazingly over the last five years numbers have been increasing.
It's great to see all the old soldiers but every year they get less and less :(

I went to the local homecoming parade today in Salisbury. I will be at the remembrance service as always on Sunday.


CHEERING crowds including football legend Geoff Hurst turned out to welcome home the army’s “eye in the sky” regiment this morning.

The Larkhill-based 32 Regiment Royal Artillery, known as the eye in the sky regiment because its soldiers operate the cutting edge Unmanned Air Systems, marched through the city to a thanksgiving service at the cathedral at the invitation of the city council.

The 600 soldiers taking part in the homecoming parade included 120 men and women from 57 Battery who returned from Afghanistan at the weekend.

The regiment paid its compliments to mayor John Abbot as well as Lieutenant General Sir Roderick Cordy-Simpson, representing the Lord Lieutenant of Wiltshire, and the Honorary Colonel of the Regiment Major General Gerry Berragan as it passed the Guildhall.

Also attending the parade as a guest and friend of the regiment will be 1966 football world cup winner Sir Geoff Hurst, proudly sporting a remembrance poppy.

Quite, lest we forget. It doesn't matter if you agree with the wars, just remember the people who have lost their lives fighting for the country and giving the ultimate sacrifice.

I'm planning on going to my one.

I was there at the opening of the Remembrance Garden (albeit accidentally) and it was very touching.
 
Never forget that every thing we have and take for granted today, we owe to those who fought and died for us.

Forever in our memories, RIP
