We went to put the muffles on our bells at our Cathedral today ready for tomorrow. We always ring 'half muffled' on Remembrance Sunday. It makes a very solomn sound and really makes everyone take note. Anne

In WW1 & WW2 our young men and women paid a high price for our freedom. The general population paid a very high price too, Whether in uniform or out we remember all of them with deepest gratitude. Now you have made me cry. Don't mind. Just puffy eyes.

At 11am today, and at various times this Sunday, and at other times during the year, I think of everyone involved in conflict of any kind because of man's inhumanity to man. RIP. And whilst remembering the dead, I remember the living too, suffering as a consequence. Joy

Well said Marjorie, my Grandfather had much the same problem- but they are never mentioned officially as casualties of war.

And perhaps you would spare a thought for my father's cousin, who DID come back, but spent the next 39 years in a Mental Home.

I do not wish in any way to diminish the respect we feel for those members of the Armed forces who fell in the awful wars. but I would ask you all tomorrow to spare a few moments to remember the countless millions of Civilians who have also been killed during these conflicts.
