Torquay

At Eleven O'Clock tomorrow morning, after the traditional Two minutes silence, Eleven Hundred Royal Marines and attached Soldiers will march from Plymouth Hoe through the streets of Plymouth City Centre.

Thousands of local people will line the streets to observe their homecoming parade, in recognition of their latest Six Months tour of Helmand Province, which saw them lose Seven men killed in action and some Fifty Three seriously injured, many with limbs lost.

I for one am extremely proud of these men, and will be there whatever the weather to recognise their courage and dedication.

God bless them, and all of our service men and women, present day and past.

Having been born in Plymouth to a service man (my dad) a real Janner from St. Judes and my mum another Janner from Prince Rock; all I can say is "Deepest Respect" to all the guys and girls serving today in our Forces, and every one that has gone before them. For a little Nation we do one hell of a job.

First and foremost i will be remembering my Grandad...he fought in the Chindits and it stayed with him throughout his life.He was and is my hero.

He was an incredible man,and i will say a prayer for all those men and women mourned by families here,and across the world,who have given their lives for their country.

"A prayer for all those men and women mourned by families here,and across the world,who have given their lives for their country."

That seems fair.

My own Remembrance tomorrow and my first Public Remembrance Ceremony on Sunday for 20 years or so. On 11 11 the time now seems right to let go.

One of my life heros is my Grandfather who proudly served with the Durham light infantry DLI who fought in the north Africa campaign. was caught by the Italians when they wasnt quite sure which side they were on!! then served the rest of the war in Stalag 18a before the Americans very kindly bombed them as they couldnt tell the difference between a POW camp and German training camp (nothing new there then) The germans almost broke my grandad. He also lost I great many friends. My son left school and went straight into the submarine service, My nephew is 5 years away from his 22 year service in the submarine service also and he has lost close friends in Iraq afghan and as recently as Libia. I am very proud,very very proud of ALL our servicemen and women and will be at our local cenotaph as I have done ever since my Grandad first took me as a young boy.

on 9 November 1914 my Great Grandfather was killed in France having never seen his daughter who was born on 5 September, 1914. It's 97 years ago and I always remember him on that date and again on 11th. My Grandfather, his twin and younger brother all served during WWII and I have many friends currently serving in all arms of the forces. My thoughts, love and best wishes go out to them all.

There will be similar scenes all over the World where there are British Service men and women serve.

Not forgetting the Remembrance Sunday on the 13th, where there will be services in most towns and cities in the UK.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them

In our thoughts..

My Mum & Dad, both of whom served their country during the second world war. My dear Mum was in the WAAF and was in charge of barrage balloons and a spotlight station. My Dad, who went in to Normandy on D-Day along with many others. Who ended up being badly wounded by the Allies! Both of whom are still alive and kicking!

Our Submariner Nephew is away until December. Although he will be able to show his respects to the fallen on board, I know he would have loved to be here to stand in our free country and breathe the free air that was hard fought for and won for future generations...

To both my Grandfathers who had distinguished service in the first and second world wars… Both now “Promoted to Glory”

To my Uncle Cecil. In many ways my hero. A tough man but soft with us kids. This is a guy who was in the SBS and SAS and back to the SBS during the Second World War. A very brave man who never talked actualities with his contemporaries, but regaled us kids with tales or dashing, daring-do..

To all those having served or serving their country, in whatever capacity.. Bless you..
