25.01.2022 Let us take a minute's silence as we pay our respect and remember all those who have served and protected our country since the First World War. Today in particular we acknowledge the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. Of the thousands of men and women that have gone to war, many never returned home to see their loved ones again. We will remember them. Lest we forget.
