🌹 The Unknown Warrior — A Symbol of Every Sacrifice 🌹

On this Armistice Day, we remember not just names carved on stone, but also those whose names were never known.

In 1920, two years after the guns fell silent, one fallen soldier — identity unknown, rank unknown — was brought home from the battlefields of France. He could have been anyone’s son, brother, husband, or father.

Chosen at random from four unknown soldiers, his coffin was carried across the Channel aboard HMS Verdun, and on 11 November 1920, he was laid to rest in Westminster Abbey — among kings, statesmen, and poets.
He was buried in soil from France, beneath words that still move the heart:

“Beneath this stone rests the body of a British warrior unknown by name or rank, brought from France to lie among the most illustrious of the land.”

For grieving families who never had a grave to visit, the Unknown Warrior became every soldier. A symbol of all the brave souls who gave their lives and whose stories ended far from home.

Today, as we pause in silence, we remember him — and through him, we remember them all.
Lest we forget. ❤️

At JE Nicholson Family Funeral Directors, we will be observing the two-minute silence at 11am, honouring the courage, sacrifice, and memory of every man and woman who served.

🇬🇧 On 11 November, at the 11th hour, we pause to remember.

At J E Nicholson Family Funeral Directors, we join the nation in honouring the service, sacrifice and courage of our armed forces — past and present.

We will remember them.

We invite our community to join us in a two-minute silence at 11:00 am as a gesture of respect and gratitude. Let us reflect on the freedoms we enjoy today, given at great cost.

With solemn thanks to all men and women who served, and to the families who carry their memory.

🕊 In Loving Memory of Glynn Stewart Twigg 🕊

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Glynn Stewart Twigg, of Wingerworth, aged 73 years. A lifelong resident of Chesterfield, Glynn was well-known and respected throughout the community.

Glynn spent over 40 years working as a skilled mechanic, proudly repairing and maintaining all kinds of vehicles. He had a love of music and reading, enjoyed his Land Rover magazines, and was always up for a good pub quiz. He also had a great understanding of the internet and enjoyed keeping up with the world around him.

He was a devoted husband to his beloved wife Janet, who sadly passed away in 2021. Glynn now leaves his loving sons Darren and Daniel, along with all who knew and loved him dearly.

A service to celebrate Glynn’s life will take place on Thursday, 30th October at 10:50am at Chesterfield Crematorium.

He leaves behind his loving mum and brother, his devoted partner Lauren, and his beautiful daughter Lottie, who was his world. Stephen will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

A service to celebrate Stephen’s life will take place on Saturday, 18th October at 11:10am at Chesterfield Crematorium.

Born on D-Day, 6th June 1944, at Willersley Castle, Cromford near Matlock, David later made his home in Wingerworth.

A devoted Derby County supporter for 65 years, David also enjoyed holidays, walking, time at the gym, reading cryptic crosswords, and most of all, cherished moments spent with his family.

He leaves behind his beloved wife Liz, son Dave, daughter Debbie, stepson Steven, sister Minnie and her husband Mick, along with his much-loved grandchildren Andrew, Rebecca, Matthew and Bethany.

David’s funeral will take place at Chesterfield Crematorium on Friday, 24th October at 12:10.

In Loving Memory of Mr. Terry Cooper

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Mr. Terry Cooper of Brampton, a lifelong and much-loved resident of Chesterfield.

Terry began his working life at Ashgate Loggings, later joining Lidl, and more recently worked as a self-employed industrial cleaner. Known for his hard graft, quick wit, and warm personality, Terry left a lasting impression wherever he went.

A devoted supporter of both Chelsea Football Club and Chesterfield FC, Terry loved a bet—any day of the week—and never passed up the chance for a holiday abroad. But above all, he was a true family man who found his greatest joy in spending time with his wife, daughter, grandchildren, and close friends.

Terry leaves behind his loving wife Vanessa, daughter Lauren, and beloved grandchildren Nevaeh and Harrison. He will be remembered with deep affection by all who knew him.

A funeral service to celebrate Terry’s life will take place at Brimington Crematorium on Friday 6th June at 11:50am, followed by a gathering in his honour at The Old House pub, Newbold.

There is no dress code—please wear whatever you’re most comfortable in. And if you happen to own a pair of Adidas Gazelles, feel free to wear them in tribute to Terry and his much-loved collection.

Rest easy, Terry. You’ll never be forgotten.

Today, on VE Day, we pause to reflect.

At JE Nicholson Family Funeral Directors, we honour the heroes of the past and present—those who gave their all in service, in sacrifice, and in steadfast belief that freedom was worth fighting for.

From the battlefields of World War II to the more recent conflicts that have shaped our world, we owe a debt of gratitude to the brave men and women who stood, and still stand, in defence of peace, dignity, and liberty.

Victory in Europe Day marks the end of a dark chapter, but also the light of hope that followed. As we remember those who never came home and those who still carry the weight of war, let us never take for granted the freedoms we enjoy today.

We remember them.
We thank them.
We honour them—always.
