There is nothing I can add to this. Except to say that the greatest tribute we could possibly pay to this man, and to all those others he represents, is to work for peace.
So moving, a brave courageous Soldier, Honoured as He should be. He fought to give us the Freedom we have today. The debt owed to Him to them all can never be repaid.
So many young lives lost, so many families forever changed, sacrifices left on the battlefields and beneath the rubble. Centuries have passed, but we have failed to honor those sacrifices but realizing that we are all children of God and should live in peace. Remember these heroes, for they provide the blanket of freedom under which we all sleep.

The idea of a Tomb of the Unknown Warrior was first conceived in 1916 by the Reverend David Railton, who, while serving as an army chaplain on the Western Front, had seen a grave marked by a rough cross, which bore the pencil-written legend 'An Unknown British Soldier'.[2] He wrote to the Dean of Westminster in 1920 proposing that an unidentified British soldier from the battlefields in France be buried with due ceremony in Westminster Abbey "amongst the kings" to represent the many hundreds of thousands of Empire dead. The idea was strongly supported by the Dean and the then Prime Minister David Lloyd George.[2]
You people are lucky we will never have to send our children off to war. They wasn't brave, they had a strong sense of duty back in those days, and would be shot by their own officers if they did not follow orders so my Grand father told me.
Greater love hath no man than this
That a man lay down his life for his friends.
100 VC winners
100 Mothers of the fallen
100 Bags of sacred earth
Incredibly moving even 100 years on
I hope but despair that there is a generation out there who don’t care and
don’t see this period of our history along with WW2 and the massive sacrifice
as immensely important in shaping our “free” world
Not forgotten

What a beautiful tribute to everyone who served. R.I.P. To all and thank you for your service.
Brilliant thanks, should be seen on TV on Remembrance Day

Just sobbed like a child. xxx
What a great film, I defy anyone not to get emotional about it. Where has it been all these years?
May he now rest in everlasting peace
