00:17remember it. You really have.
00:19I have family that landed on the beaches of Normandy, so it's important to me. But I have
00:25an army number as well.
00:27We pay our respects to those who gave their lives and sacrificed for this country so that
00:35we could be free and we will always remember them.
00:39All because my uncle and that one died in the war, and that's one of the reasons why.
00:46No, he's dead now, but no, he was in the First and Second World War. So, yeah, that's why
00:53I remember him.
00:56I've noticed a lot of the youngsters coming along. My grandson has taken a particular
01:01interest. He's been helping on the stall and he's about to lay a wreath on Remembrance Day.
