Good thing @StormyDaniels isn't a Chinese spy. Or -- maybe it doesn't matter now.

This evening, at Menin Gate, on behalf of our association Les Amis de la Mémoire, we laid a wreath in tribute to all those who gave their lives for our freedom.

We Will Remember Them.

🚨Initial data indicate that Russia may have lost more than 50,000 soldiers - killed and injured - in October fighting Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte says. Other months it has already been at 40,000 personnel, dead and wounded each month.

Today I travelled to a village near Exeter with my friend James. At 11 o’clock we stood at the grave of Jack Sadler, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2007. Jack was quiet and kind with a rich, dry humour. Remembering Trooper Jack Sadler, HAC…. our friend. #RemembranceDay

Quelle fierté de voir Achille Muller à nos côtés. Dernier survivant des SAS de la France libre. Héros français. 101 ans et toujours parachutiste ! Qui ose gagne !

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

[CST @CST_UK]

Today CST honours and remembers those who gave their lives in service since 1914, with a two-minute silence at 11am.

Can you help identify the remains of missing soldiers? November 10, 1917, marked the end of the Third Battle of Ypres, also known as Passchendaele. More than 2000 Canadians remain missing from this battle. 1/4

Hier comme aujourd’hui, des tranchées aux théâtres d’opérations, les générations de combattants se succèdent, unies par un même engagement :
Servir la France et défendre nos valeurs.

À nos frères d’armes d’hier et d’aujourd’hui 🫡🇫🇷

'One minute after the hour. All guns silent.'

At 11am on 11 November 1918, the guns fell silent on the Western Front. This document from IWM's collections visualises the silence, showing artillery activity for one minute before and one minute after the Armistice.

We will remember them.

[PhilipLarkinSociety @PLSoc]

Never such innocence,
Never before or since,
As changed itself to past
Without a word - the men
Leaving the gardens tidy,
The thousands of marriages
Lasting a little while longer:
Never such innocence again.
