🇬🇧 Remembrance Sunday 🇬🇧

Today, we pause to remember and honour all those who have served, sacrificed, and stood for freedom.

At Colne Citadel, we give thanks for the courage and dedication of the men and women who gave their lives in conflict, and for those who continue to serve today.

> “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.”

🕊️ We will remember them.
