Speaking as a War Baby (born 1943,) although I have no direct memories of WW2 myself, I did grow up in the dismal aftermath of rationing and deprivation and like most of my generation, have a deep regard and respect for all those who took part.
This weekend November 11th sees the annual Remembrance and Armistice events here in London as every year, I shall be watching the old soldiers parade proudly down Whitehall with their wreaths. And certainly, there is still a great interest and fascination with those two wars among the British population, of all generations.
12 Years ago on Armistice Day, November 11th 2000, The National Symphony Orchestra gave a concert at Rochester Cathedral in Kent, England. -->
LAST SALUTE OF THE CENTURY
TO ALL THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES, YOUTH
AND HEALTH THAT WE MIGHT LIVE IN FREEDOM, ESPECIALLY TO HONOUR THE VETERANS OF
WW1
