REMEMBRANCE DAY ~ 9TH NOVEMBER 2014

Good Morning to you,





'Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there.
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush.
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there.
I did not die.

Mary Elizabeth Fry
1932

There really are not enough words, to say thank you, to all the brave men and women, from across the world, who lost their lives, so that we can enjoy the freedom we have today.

..... but we can remember and we must always remember their sacrifice.

George and I will never, ever, forget friends and family, who lost their lives in conflicts across the world.

They will always have our gratitude, 

and

they will always live on, 

in our hearts.




to you and your family,

REMEMBRANCE DAY 11TH NOVEMBER 2012

Good Morning to you,

Today is Remembrance Sunday. 

Today is the day, when we take time to remember all the brave men and women who have lost their lives, in conflicts past and present.





DO NOT STAND
AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP





 

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle Autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight,
I am the soft star-shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
 
Mary Elizabeth Frye
1932

 
 
Each wooden cross is planted by a family member or friend, in a Field of Remembrance. The cross  carries a personal message to someone who lost their life in the Service of their country.

Services of Remembrance will be held around the country.

Wreaths will be laid in rememberance of the fallen .
 


 
 
Our hearts are with you,
You will never be forgotten.
