Not sure if we have a service this Sunday in the village. It was cancelled last year. I assume its going ahead this year and my wife my daughter and I generally go. My daughter used to be a brownie so was part of the parade.

Yep, did my 2 minutes at 11 o clock the other day.

Like others on here, I know a few personally who never came home.

We will remember them

I have my 3rd remembrance parade tomorrow with the big one in Stockton on Sunday. Been a hectic fortnight with selling poppies in the Boro and Stockton as well, looking forward to Sunday but also Monday when we can rest.

I was shocked at my place of work on Thursday. No email to staff, everyone kept working, radio still on, Teams calls ongoing, people chatting.

I just stopped work and sat quietly at my desk for 2 minutes, head down.

I'm a contractor there so didn't feel that I could make representation to management

 

[Slipperutb01]

Fortunately I work for myself pulled over got out of my car and stood by it head bowed for 2 minutes to pay my respects

I was one of the lucky ones. Came home to my family from the Gulf, and from Former Yugoslavia.
I will remember those that didnt.
Paid my respects on Thursday at 11:00am. I was in the middle of an exam so i told the invigilator i was stopping for 2 minutes and to add that time onto the end if i needed it.
On Sundayi will be part of the Eston parade and laying the wreath on behalf of the RAF. Then we will go to the club and toast the fallen, and absent friends.
