I'm here at Victoria Station, uh, to support the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal. Having a great time. I'm here this morning at Waterloo Station with the Royal British Legion supporting the Poppy Appeal.
I'm here at Paddington Station supporting the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal.
So, we're here in New Malden and as you can see, there's dozens of our forces in uniform turning out today as part of the London Poppy Drive. Uh, remembrance for me is all about the country coming together to pay our respects for all those who are serving, have served, their families, and of course the lost loved ones that have paid the ultimate sacrifice for all the freedoms we enjoy.
To me, remembrance means remembering my uncle who died on D-Day. One of the so many who served and paid the ultimate sacrifice. Everyone watching this will have their own memories, but above all, it's about service and remembering those who served our country and stood for our values.
And to me, remembrance means coming together as a country with one single purpose, which is to remember the men and women of this country who gave everything. To me, remembrance means remembering those people who have served like my dad and my uncles. Not just veterans of many years ago, but the men and women of our armed forces today.
For me, remembrance is that time of the year and that moment when the nation comes together to recognize the service and sacrifice, in particular, those that we've lost in previous conflicts. The remembrance is also a time to remind the public not just to give to support veterans, but to recognize the service of those in uniform today and everything they do to keep us safe.
