Here I am, packing up my last student flat in Salford, when I get my uni results. Despite losing my dad in January of my final year and studying with a battle with my mental health, I have a 2:2 BSc(hons) in Wildlife and Practical Conservation❤️💫 #MyTimeMySalford #Classof2020

I just signed the petition calling for prison officers' retirement age to go down to 60 - the same as police, firefighters and armed services. Will you join me? https://t.co/YjGFLpNvrj via @38degrees

Some people have voicemails saved from dead loved ones. I on the other hand, have Snapchat memories that come up out of the blue of my dad hand feeding pigeons in the park, calling them his “finest finest birds” and watching that crying at almost midnight is not ideal really 🥲

First time getting a train up to Scotland and the train conductor sounds just like Sarah Millican and I just instantly feel like this will be a good journey

Having moved house we ordered some picture hooks to put on our walls. Given they aren’t breakable, that’s probably a good thing given @AmazonUK informed me that it had been “left in letterbox” when it had actually been thrown over our back garden fence. No way to complain either.

I literally had this exact thought a couple of hours ago. But I never have change on me for ticket machines 🥺

A sad thing about car parks going increasingly digital/app based (woke) is the inevitable death of the social convention of giving other people your parking ticket when you’ve got an hour left on it

Feels a little emotional popping back to Salford for a weekend, when I was living there for final year shit had completely hit the fan and it was such a low point for me. 3 years later on I’ve really got things together and I’m so grateful I’m not in that low point anymore 🥹

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.

Being engaged means he’s bought an engagement ring and I buy us a nandos when we have to go get the ring resized because I’m incapable at measuring my ring size correctly 🥲

I’m so glad that as a nation we’ve had a lovely Saturday night throwing it back to girls aloud. Iconic behaviour
