00:29 How important is it that we remember this day?
00:33 I think it's very important. We wouldn't be here in our situation of our freedom
00:38 if it hadn't been for those that have given up their ultimate sacrifice.
00:43 Yeah, it's very important.
00:45 Now, we have the D-Day flag of peace flying in Tower Gardens, don't we?
00:52 What else is happening today?
00:54 I think it's national, isn't it? It's remembrance. At different timings, I know,
01:00 but like today, we've had our laying of a couple of wreaths.
01:03 We've also got the flag up at the church here behind the monument raised.
01:09 And it's just people raising a glass to remember those that have fallen
01:13 and those that have, like I say, given us our freedom.
