As usual, totally humbling and poignant.

Lest we forget.

I felt it was even more moving than normal with Albert Hall being almost empty

HM Forces medics, a great tribute, as well as NHS staff.

Have been selling Poppies outside Storrington Tesco Express over the past few days, as ever a wonderful response, the ceramic poppies flying out, need to get some further supplies!

I'm involved every year for this special event, in organising drivers and transport for the military to the Royal Albert Hall.
Quite a logistical nightmare

Cheers for that, but it's more of a team effort, I'm a small cog in a big civvy wheel.
The military always kicks in for these big ceremonial engagements.

I went to the Festival of Remembrance in 2018, it was a truly humbling occasion.
