Incredibly proud to see The Scouts at the forefront of remembrance again. At Morecambe, where I attended, members were extremely smartly turned out and a credit to all concerned. Shades of 1919 when Scouts were privileged to be able to guard the temporary Morecambe cenotaph set up close by on the promenade.

“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.”
