The Unknown Warrior was buried in Westminster Abbey #onthisday in 1920, representing the many thousands who had died on the battlegrounds of the First World War.
His funeral in the Abbey was attended by King George V; the Prime Minister, David Lloyd George; government, military and diplomatic representatives; and nearly a thousand widows and mothers of those killed in the war.
It was a moment of great national commemoration, with the Unknown Warrior representing all those lost on the battlefields who had no other memorial or known grave.

@_SeanOGrady@GavinBarwell But presumably these favoured candidates still all had to win over Democrats through tough primary contests? I wasnt aware of Schumer's involvement thus far so thanks for highlighting
MISSISSIPPI! Our race is too close to call. We are going to make sure every single vote has been counted, and I am confident we will ultimately flip this seat.
Voters know what’s at stake and we saw historic voter turnout in this election across Mississippi, including thousands voting for the first time.
There is a lot of work to be done and we are going to make sure every voice is heard.
Openreach will be operating temp traffic signals at Homesdale Road, Bromley, Monday 09/11 for up to three consecutive days.

@ChisMatters Will @thameswater ever resolve this leak on White Horse Hill at junction of Beanshaw and bus stop E? I have reported it at least twice on @fixmystreet to @Royal_Greenwich. Twice there have been works done and temporary traffic lights, yet still its unresolved and getting worse.
The ITV undercover footage of Reform councillors is chilling and disgraceful.
We are deeply troubled that a Bromley Reform councillor was involved.
Racism has no place in our borough, in the Council Chamber or in communities across the country.

At the meeting of @LBofBromley's full council on Monday 12th Oct I've requested an update on the Church House Gardens pond.
Look forward to hearing more about discussions with @thameswater, @idverde_Bromley & the local Park Friends group of volunteers.

I want to echo this message.
To anyone who joined the Green Party thinking they were supporting an environmentalist cause and are now questioning that choice.
To those whose political foundation is rooted in equality for all, as well as being a proud custodian of our natural world.
To those tired of antisemitism and islamophobia in their party.
You can find your political home in the @LibDems
Come and join the real green party in Britain.
Camden Lib Dem group leader Cllr Tom Simon and parliamentary candidates Patrick Stillman and Katie Mansfield:
'With these votes, the Green Party has crossed a line. The rights to manifest one’s religion and of freedom of association are fundamental human rights, and these are now at risk.
'In the Liberal Democrats, we will continue to speak up for the values of liberty, equality and community. We will continue to call for the bold, urgent action needed to tackle climate change. We will make welcome any real Greens who choose to join us.'
