I agree such an emotional day this evening it brought tears to my eyes when I heard the Germen poems spoken in Germen and saw Germen graves next to our boys graves very moving

I shall light my candle with pride for the life that these brave men have given me.

Such an emotional day listening to the music, anecdotes, recollections and tributes of all our fallen heroes.

I will light a candle, not just for the grave of the unknown warrior...........but for each and every one of them.

We owe them so much.

Bless them all............ <3 <3 <3

for an hour at 10pm tonight to remember those who died in the First World War.

Families are being asked to leave on a single light or candle to commemorate the moment then-Prime Minister Herbert Asquith declared Britain had entered the First World War at 11pm on August 4, 1914.
