We Will Remember Them.

On remembrance Sunday, Kidsgrove held its annual parade and service in memory of those that had sacrificed their lives for our country.  Year on year, the amount of people attending remembrance has increased.  With wars raging around the world it’s more important than ever that people show their respects. Thank you to all of the organisations that took part, especially the British Legion.  Remembrance Sunday is held to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.  Our thoughts are with those who are serving around the world and are daily putting their lives at risk for our country.  Let remembrance also remind our national politicians how important it is to look after servicemen and women, not just when they are at war, but when they return home. 

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.
