With just over two weeks to go until the Coronation of The King & Queen, I bumped into fellow pilot and the next King of the United Kingdom, HRH The Prince of Wales today! 🇬🇧👑
Cries of mourning were heard as the congregation sung Abide with me.
The coffin was lowered into the grave, watched by The King.
The Unknown Warrior gave hope to every Mother, Sister, Wife and Daughter.
That their Son, Brother, Husband or Father could’ve been there, in the House of Kings, the Unknown Warrior.
Lest we forget.
After the unveiling of the Cenotaph, The King placed his wreath on the Coffin of the Unknown warrior before it made its way to the Abbey.
OTD 1920.
After a random unknown soldier's body was chosen in France, and escorted home on a British Warship and a special train, the coffin of the unknown warrior was taken to the Cenotaph which was to be unveiled.
At the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month – we will remember them.
Lest we forget.

There are no words…..
If having a two-tier system is now acceptable then, maybe we should introduce classes of citizenship depending on your family history and ethnicity.
This is the work of Sir David Willcocks, who told The King, then the Prince of Wales, that he had multiple Orchestras and Choirs available, and asked which he should use for the national anthem.
The reply came back, “Use the lot!”
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.
Lest we forget.

Exactly.
These countries should be grateful for us beginning the process of civilising them.
I am tired of those who seem determined to apologise for everything in Britain's past, while ignoring the extraordinary contribution this country has made to freedom around the world. In 1807, Britain abolished the slave trade and subsequently deployed the Royal Navy's West Africa Squadron to enforce that decision. British sailors risked, and lost, their lives fighting the slave trade, freeing thousands of people from slavery.
We should never forget their courage and sacrifice. Our history is not without its faults, but neither should we forget the enormous contribution Britain has made to freedom, justice and the rule of law. We have much to be proud of, and I make no apology for saying so.
