Reflection
At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the guns fell silent on the Western Front to bring to an end the First World War. Our nation and commonwealth has recalled that moment through our Armistice and Remembrance events down the decades; decades during which the men and women of our armed services have continued to pay the ultimate sacrifice. And so over 100 years later, we stand here today to remember lives sacrificed in the service of our Country and those traumatised and injured in conflict. May we have such a devotion to justice and freedom that the heroism of all who fought and still fight, may continue to be remembered in a nation of service and in a world of peace.
