Commemoration of Remembrance Day

[imhotep]

Hi folks.I went to church with my mother this Sunday morning for Remembrance
It was a wonderful service and we had the usual 2 minutes of silence at 11am.
Now, some of you may not like the following sad,haunting and mournful hymn song video link that I will post below.But, I really don't mind these kind of songs myself as I quite like them.I guess that may come across as somewhat strange to some of you.But hey, everyone has their own favourite kind of music and songs.
The song that I will provide has lyrics that always reminds me of all the brave troops of world war 1 and 2 who fought and died to protect our glorious country.
Such a sad shame that so many soldiers died in these two terrible wars,and this is the reason that I honour and respect them.
We should always remember them. Lest we forget.
The first link is The Last Post.....which I find very poignant.

and now for the hymn song.....sung beautifully by this young soloist, Michael Horncastle of Libera, of which I have CD's of.

This hymn below can also be sung on Remembrance Day. I Vow to Thee My Country. I love this hymn too!

The last post always brings a lump to my throat. Some years ago while on a pub trip to Belgium I went accompanied a mate and his granddad, a survivor of WW 1, to the Menin Gate for the Last Post Ceremony and I'm not ashamed to admit that as the echoes died away I'd tears in my eyes. It really brings it home to you how many men just disappeared into the mud of the Western Front when you see all those names carved in stone

Many thanks for your comment paddywak.
It certainly does bring a tear to my eyes too mate.Even my mother was shedding a few tears today,as she gets very emotional at times.
