As most of them had served some time in Afghan or Iraq and lost friends it was a very poignant moment.

We need to keep remembering all those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for us all. I remember a Great Uncle who died in France in 1916 and my Other Half's much older step-brother who was in Bomber Command and died on Christmas Eve in 1943. We will remember them all.
