Remembrance Sunday

[10ClarionSt]

I'll be marching past The Cenotaph again this year on Remembrance Sunday. However, I am expecting these climate protesters to try and disrupt the event in some way. Not the actual parade etc, but to try and disrupt people who are attending. We'll see.

Just seen a rather hysterical 20 something up a gantry screaming into her phone “ you’re killing our planet, you’re killing me “ tears streaming down her face, very OTT, good luck for Sunday , I salute you all

Swift hobnail to the groin should sort it 10C.

Hope it all goes well.

Might one ask why you're expecting the under-employed to disrupt things?

a day to ponder on sacrifices made for us....

I think it's a major event that some protestors would try and take advantage of in some way.

Thanks for all the replies folks. Our contingent is in Column E this year, the last column to march off, so we will be well to the rear of the parade, somewhere behind Transport for London. But the point is we are there to honour and remember, that's the important thing.

There was a much reduced remembrance service during lockdown in 2020, only attended by a few dignitaries, so I took a floral tribute to The Cenotaph on the Sunday before that. Just me. There I stood, on my own, in front of The Cenotaph, in a deserted Whitehall with only the armed Downing Street police watching on. It was quite eerie. I went round the corner to Westminster tube station which, again, was deserted, But at the top of Parliament Street, there was pipeband playing, not in uniforms but civilian clothes. Strange days indeed!
