    As it is Remembrance Day in the UK I tried to find some media coverage of the service at the Cenotaph but could not find anything that could be received over here. Likewise the British Legions Festival of remembrance last night. So your post is all I have seen from the UK.

    Thank you very much.


    The Remembrance

    They shall not grow 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

    (From "the fallen," Laurence Binyon.)

    BBC.co.uk carried the service from the Cenotaph live online. I was up at
    0545h EST to watch it.

    I wish I had known that. I searched the BBC website and could only find the service at the Cenotaph on BBC television which they said was not available here online

    Next time I want to see or listen to something from the UK I will look for it a few days early, then if I can't find it I can ask on the forum for advice.

    Thanks for letting me know.

    Thanks again for the photo's Alex.

    Thanks for the excellent photos, Alex. The clear sky perfect matches you Air Force tartan. It's good to see the veterans in the parade; the older ones always seem most determined to attend. That's a very stern looking sergeant leading his cadets and there appear to be several young lassies in the ranks.
