As you know, both my parents have been very poorly this year but thankfully made remarkable recoveries from their earlier illnesses. In June we managed a family holiday in Sussex although during that week my sister and I realised that Dad was more frail than perhaps we’d realised. That being we had a wonderful week that we shall always look back on as being precious. Dad’s death came as a shock but two major heart attacks on consecutive days - well, it was obvious what was going to happen. I also think that there is some consolation in the knowledge that my father’s final illness wasn’t long and that if we think about what life was likely to hold for him had he lived, then the kindest thing for him is what did actually happen. The cards and messages and flowers we’ve received have been so very appreciated, a number containing all sorts of memories of him and his humour.

  • 3931 Knights Batchelor Service
    Westminster Abbey A Service to Mark The Passing of The World War One Generation Wednesday 11 November 2009 10.55 am THE FIRST WORLD WAR At the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, the Armistice signed by Germany and the Allies in Marshal Foch’s railway carriage in the Forest of Compiegne came into effect, bringing to an end the hostilities that had involved millions of people from countries across the world. The First World War had lasted four years, four months, and fourteen days. More than one million men, women, and children, Service and civilian, from across the British Empire lost their lives. The War left an enduring impact on those who survived, and on the nation as a whole as the country struggled to come to terms with loss on such an unimaginable scale. They were determined that the sacrifices of the World War One generation would never be forgotten. In marking the passing of this remarkable generation today, and as the nation falls silent at 11.00 am, we honour that promise. THE PADRE’S FLAG The Union Flag hanging at this service over the Grave of the Unknown Warrior, sometimes called the Padre’s flag, was flown daily on a flag post, used on an improvised altar, or as a covering for the fallen, on the Western Front during the First World War. It covered the coffin of the Unknown Warrior at his funeral on 11 November 1920. After resting for a year on the grave it was presented to the Abbey on Armistice Day 1921 by the Reverend David Railton, the Army chaplain who used it during the war.
