Today,
in the UK, we honour the armed forces, because today is Remembrance Sunday, or
Poppy Day. Remembrance Day actually falls on the 11th hour of the 11th day of
the 11th month, but today the queen and the forces will turn out to pay tribute
to those lost, past and present.
I would like to do the same. I would like to thank all those,
past, present and future, who have given or will give their lives to protect me
and mine. May I acknowledge those who have been injured in battle and have had
their lives changed forever as a result. You are not forgotten, your service to
your country and the rest of the world is always in our minds, even when it’s
not shouted from the roof tops. I would like to send out my heartfelt thanks to
every man and woman across the globe, who has either spent a career defending
the world, or who step out into the unknown as we speak.
You bravery and dedication to the cause of keeping us all safe
is admirable and very much appreciated. Today, I honour you with gratitude and
thanks. May you stay safe and well and never lose faith in yourselves, for you
are the difference to the rest of us.
