90 years after the last shot was fired in World War 1, we stood at the Thiepval Memorial, a memorial to the missing of the Somme, and remembered those who fell. It was incredibly moving to stand in one of the battlefield sites, listening to the Last Post and then in the silence remembering those who fought in that very place, as well as others who are killed in defence of their country. We then moved to the Anglo-French cemetery behind the memorial where the children attending the remembrance ceremony placed French and British flags on some of the graves.
