This should be eligible for an Oscar. Definitely better than Emilia Perez…

[No Farmers, No Food @NoFarmsNoFoods]

Farmers are protesting in London today against the government’s inheritance tax on family farms.

We can live without politicians. But we cannot live without food.

Back British farming. No farmers, no food.

On November 7th, 1920, in strictest secrecy, four unidentified British bodies were exhumed from temporary battlefield cemeteries at Ypres, Arras, the Asine and the Somme.

None of the soldiers who did the digging were told why.

The bodies were taken by field ambulance to GHQ at St-Pol-Sur-Ter Noise. Once there, the bodies were draped with the union flag.

Sentries were posted and Brigadier-General Wyatt and a Colonel Gell selected one body at random. The other three were reburied.

A French Honour Guard was selected and stood by the coffin overnight of the chosen soldier overnight.

On the morning of the 8th November, a specially designed coffin made of oak from the grounds of Hampton Court arrived and the Unknown Warrior was placed inside.

On top was placed a crusaders sword and a shield on which was inscribed:

"A British Warrior who fell in the GREAT WAR 1914-1918 for King and Country".

On the 9th of November, the Unknown Warrior was taken by horse-drawn carriage through Guards of Honour and the sound of tolling bells and bugle calls to the quayside.

There, he was saluted by Marechal Foche and loaded onto HMS Vernon bound for Dover. The coffin stood on the deck covered in wreaths, surrounded by the French Honour Guard.

Upon arrival at Dover, the Unknown Warrior was met with a nineteen gun salute - something that was normally only reserved for Field Marshals.

A special train had been arranged and he was then conveyed to Victoria Station, London.

He remained there overnight, and, on the morning of the 11th of November, he was finally taken to Westminster Abbey.

The idea of the unknown warrior was thought of by a Padre called David Railton who had served on the front line during the Great War the union flag he had used as an altar cloth whilst at the front, was the one that had been draped over the coffin.

It was his intention that all of the relatives of the 517,773 combatants whose bodies had not been identified could believe that the Unknown Warrior could very well be their lost husband, father, brother or son...

THIS is the reason we wear poppies.

We do not glorify war.

We remember - with humility - the great and the ultimate sacrifices that were made, not just in this war, but in every war and conflict where our service personnel have fought - to ensure the liberty and freedoms that we now take for granted.

Every year, on the 11th of November, we remember the Unknown Warrior.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

Hi Villa fans before the game on Sat you would be most welcome to pop into Aston Parish Church, take a look around and remember and celebrate the Easter story - Free hot cross buns and a limited supply of free Aston Villa bibles! @AandNCofE @AVFCFoundation @AVFCOfficial 💜💙🙏

Dear Charlie’s Mum, you should be very proud of him.

It takes a special young person to give up their free time so that others can enjoy the sport that they love.

And others need to realise that just because he’s a referee, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t love the game too.

Here I go again! Media siding with the supermarkets. All farmers want is a fair price, they’ve already upped the price for you as the consumer why can’t it filter down to us so we can cover costs?? #payfarmersfair

I believe this is so important, I’m tweeting it again:

“The great tragedy is the lack of vocational education in schools. Not everybody is designed for the academic. I feel this has been forgotten for a long time.”

This is what he wrote. I agree with it all

[Jeremy Clarkson @JeremyClarkson]

Excellent news. Let’s hope the district councils and the silly red trouser people now back down. Britain needs food grown in Britain.

[Jeremy Clarkson @JeremyClarkson]

You can live without heat and clothing and even sex. But you cannot live without food. Please support British farming.

Congratulations @CowleyHillLleyn Fantastic! Well done 👍🏼

Absolutely superb letter written in reaction to unbalanced BBC programme. 👏👏👏
