Remembrance
Day Services
ON Sunday, 11 November 2012,
the annual Remembrance Day Services where held through out the
UK and the Commonwealth. The memorial services were
extremely well attended in both Southport and in Formby, and we
have been told this was the same in Liverpool and other areas on
Merseyside. Members of the public joined up with
service men and women to pay tribute to those who have fallen in
conflicts, past and present by laying wreaths at the regions war
memorials. This year more
people seemed to be displaying the remembrance poppy then in
resent years, poetically with they younger
generations. "This is fantastic to see more young
people wearing them, as all the money
raise goes to help ex-service personnel and their families.
The
Poppy has been used since 1921 to
commemorate soldiers who have died in war. It is now our
biggest single fundraising effort and we thank all who bought
them and also all of you who sold them for us." said the Royal
British Legion's Poppy Appeal. If
