I must say, I'm a little disappointed at how few people seem to wear a poppy these days. Was just in town and saw hardly any, all worn by pensioners.

Perhaps I feel the need more as I knew relatives who fought in WWII, and many people younger than me won't know people who did, but I think it's important to remember.

And to me, it isn't just about remembering those from the British Army, it's about remembering all those who have suffered as a result of conflicts over the years; be they English, Scottish, Irish, German, Italian, Muslim, Japanese, soldier or civilian.

Sadly, the mindset of these people won't allow them to see it from all sides. Some of the things that happened in Ireland were awful but, lets be honest, the things the Irish did to British soldiers (and even civilians) were just as terrible as the mistakes of bloody Sunday.

As said, lest we forget...
