Remembrance Sunday

The Memorial Gates on Constitution Hill

'When you go home, tell them of us, and say:

For your tomorrow we gave our today.'

Kohima War Memorial

On 6 November 2002,

 HM The Queen officially inaugurated the Memorial Gates

 on Constitution Hill in London, UK.

These Gates have been erected as a lasting memorial,

 to honour the five million men and women from the Indian subcontinent,

Africa and the Caribbean who volunteered

 to serve with the Armed Forces

during the First and Second World Wars.

They also celebrate the contribution

 that these men and women and their descendants,

 members of the Commonwealth family,

 continue to make to the rich diversity of British society.

Although this is just one memorial,

 for remembering those

 that lost their life due to conflicts & wars,

Remembrance Sunday,

a day to remember everyone

 who has lost their life fighting for their country.

 And, still the lost still goes on within our modern times. . . .

If only we could relish a more peaceful world!
