I agree with John Parry's thoughts and comments on Remembrance Sunday.

This is the day the whole nation should stop for two minutes to remember the brave men and women who gave their lives for our freedom.

The wearing of poppies does seem to be a thing of the past, which I think is very sad, although there do not appear to have been as many poppies available this year.

We should wear our poppies with pride. Schools must play a big part in bringing to their pupils' attention the importance and significance of Remembrance Sunday.

This day must be remembered and observed for generations to come.

There are still threats to our freedom which brave men and women defend, giving their lives when necessary to preserve our security.
