IT WAS a subdued Armistice Day this year – understandable in the circumstances but no doubt distressing for some. But respects were rightly still paid and the memory of so many who gave so much recalled. Hopefully, next year the regular events will return and proper tribute allowed. My father served in the Second World War, as my grandfather had in the First World War. Though he’d served from 1940 through until the end of the conflict, my father preferred his own private recollection to organised events.
