It was very clear from the wide variety of ages of people in the crowds on Remembrance Day night that it has hit a chord with all people, all ages, all backgrounds. And that is a very good thing.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to visit this personally but the pictures I saw of it are nevertheless impressive and memorable. Thanks for sharing those pictures.
I have been fortunate enough to be present at several Last Post ceremonies at the Menin Gate, including being part of the party laying a wreath, and this certainly looks to have been right up there as a most moving and fitting tribute to all those who lost their lives in the Great War. I too wasn't able to visit, so thanks for sharing your thoughts and pictures.
Quite right, Peter. While I was there, I thought about the members of my own family who fell in the First (and Second) World Wars and how much I hoped that they would appreciate the tribute, the respect and the remembrance.

A truly spectacular sight and one that I won't forget anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteIt was a very unique and very special site. I feel very privileged to have had the chance to see it.
DeleteIt looks spectacular at night! Glad I made the effort last week!
ReplyDeleteIt was amazing at about 9pm last night in a hazy rain. Very crowded, but totally worthwhile.
DeleteIts a truly amazing sight. Certainly seems to have touched something people, not a bad thing at all.

ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome, Stefan
DeleteThis really looks impressive.
ReplyDeleteIt was, Nick. The photos capture a lot, but sadly for those able to visit in person, not everything.
DeleteIt is truly an amazing and inspired tribute. It would almost be worth the price of a plane ticket just to see it,
ReplyDeleteYou would have been very moved, Mike.
DeleteI wasn't able to visit, but my niece was fortunate enough to do so and she took photos. A spectacular and moving tribute to those who served.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, AJ.
