Remembering

For many years I read the news at weekends on an independent local radio station in England. At 11 am on Remembrance Sunday, after the two minutes silence for remembering, and the sounding of The Last Post, I had to pick up with ‘ .. and in other news …’

The emotion of the event, and the sweet soaring bugle call, always reduced me to tears – a hazard when trying to read a news bulletin!

From that tiny seed of feeling, a story grew.
