Rememberance Sunday

The annual service held at Ashford Memorial seems to attract more people every year. I had to miss it last year due to a trip to Stratford Upon Avon, but there was a church next to our hotel with a memorial, so we tagged onto the villagers service, which after the laying of wreaths, was taken into the church for the two minutes silence and following service. I much prefer our Ashford service which is shared by all in the open air, and is much more dignified now that the police have reinstated their traffic duty during the event. What would those poor souls, who gave their lives for us, think of the way this country is being run today, and would they think that it was all worth the fighting and dying, for our freedoms to be given away so readily.
