REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY

  Lest we Forget

What do we forget when we remember
What are the stories left untold
What do we think each November
As we march down that glory road
As we march down that gory road

One hundred million
Don’t come home from war
Another eight hundred million
Who lived to bear its scar
Who lived to bear its scar

Lest we forget
What they were dying for
Lest we forget
What they were killing for
Lest we forget
What the hell it was for
 
What do we forget when we remember…

Field of Remembrance

Each year, The Royal British Legion establishes a Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey, London and Cathays Park, Cardiff. The Fields become a sea of Remembrance Crosses with scarlet poppies - a touching symbol of Remembrance and tribute to the memory of ex-Service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect their country.

The official opening of the Remembrance Field in Cardiff will take place on Wednesday 4 November at 11am. The Cardiff field is in Cathays Park, just off King Edward VII Avenue, behind City cHall. It will be open to visitors daily between 9.00am and 6.00pm from Thursday 4 November until Sunday 14 November.
