00:00It's lovely to meet both of you and it's wonderful to be here at the Royal Hospital Chelsea to talk
00:04about remembrance, especially during the centenary of the Royal British Legion. This time of year,
00:09is it lovely for you to reflect on not only the time that you served but also on your friends
00:15and your loved ones? Oh yes, I have to say I lost a few friends, one in particular I remember.
00:21He
00:22was killed a day or two before the war ended. Emily, is this you here? Yeah. Are these some of
00:29your activities that you've been doing? Yeah, so our local church we made a big poppy display and it's
00:33gone down the tower, the cop tower, and then we also do remembrance services and parades and we lay reeds.
00:43It's amazing that you know we've been remembering and remembrance has been part of the fabric of
00:48society really since then. You know it's fantastic that an idea that was initiated then is still very
00:55much relevant today.
