Remembrance Sunday is a day to commemorate the contribution of
military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.
"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."
