We do not have Church today as we are still closed due to covid19.

I now think of all the young who regularly come to Church with all the traditions, songs and Bible stories.

I think of the old who would have got out of their houses and flats, fellowshipping, having a natter, seeing familiar faces, and refreshments later.

Where will the young of today and the old be when this is all over?

I remember them today, along with the those lost in the Wars, and those lost in peacetime when the twins towers fell and my God-Mother.

So, today instead of going to Church, dressed in black, I have my laptop on my knee and I watched them, on my telly the runup to the minutes silence. The Old Soldiers, on foot and in wheelchairs, they were missed today.

This is Remembrance Sunday with a difference, 2020.        

May they all Rest In Peace.

A very fitting piece for today, given the current danger and emergency!

Thank you. I think of the old Gentleman in my Church who walks down the front with a young Man in front of him holding a large Union Jack flag. The Old Soldier now unsteady on his pins with all his medals, salutes. I think of him and the other Soldiers on Telly, how many will be around this time next year?
