00:00I served in Corps of Royal Engineers from 2007 to 2014 and I lost a few friends throughout

00:15the service so it means a lot to remember them and also the people that have fallen

00:22before them. I just think it's nice to see the people of Leeds coming out and remembering

00:28people important to them as well. For me it's really important because to remember the people

00:34who have fought for you and your life, like the quote says, they lost their today to gain

00:41your tomorrow. It's really important to me. I've always come with my grandad and my family

00:48here but recently we've lost my grandad this year so it's weird to be without him but we've

00:57come every single year for the last 10 years with him and that's what these medals are

01:02representing him and his dad and I'd like to carry on the legacy.

01:08His dad were in World War One. There wasn't too many specific stories I could say it was

01:28just like stuff in battle from the World War One but from what I know they were both very

01:35resilient and strong minded men. There was lots of people today gathering. I've seen

01:41the Lord Mayor today in the Civic Hall and we talked about my great grandad who was in

01:50the World War and the World War Two. I think it's really great that we can all come together

01:56to represent and support the lost.
