May we never forget the debt we owe them.

[@peterhobson3262]

The buglers are from the Ypres Fire Brigade. They have been performing the Last Post every evening since 1919, except for 1940-1944 when the occupying Germans forbade the ceremony.

[@Songbirdstress]

You'd think we'd be forgetting over a hundred years later, but we're not. The emotion is still as raw as 50 years ago when I first had the Honour of carrying the colours on Remembrance Sunday. They would be amazed if they knew. I hope if they can look down on us, that it brings them some comfort.

Grabs the heart every time what a debt we owe

I was here in the '90s paying tribute to irish twins lost, one in a marked grave, one in an unmarked grave. Such a moving experience, an experience each 6oung European should experience, last week forget. 💕💔

Fortunate to be there in 2014 (100 years since start of the Great War) and as it happened, Australia was remembered on that occasion. Lest We Forget.

[@shannonhalford3507]

Thank-you, to each military family member that participated. That is to say, we hold such reverence for the playing of The Last Post. Truly, a beautiful way to say, we shall never forget. I'm NY Toms very British future wife MD, Veteran, Middle E. & Cont. of Africa

6:00 what piece of music is that I can't recognise it?

[@johanthijssen6057]

Hello Chuck, the piece is called 'So Many Lives' with the subtitle 'Millennium Prayer For Peace' composed by Carole Becker-Douglas

[@Naughty_kitty]

Bless the people of Belgium that still remember the soldiers from WW1 and WW2 who fought for their freedom and our freedom in that trying times

[@peterhobson3262]

The Belgians have good reason to remember both wars. There are large numbers of gravestones from 1914-1918 and 1940-1944 marked "Fusillé par les Allemands" "Shot by the Germans".
