My grandad was at Ypres in the first world war and lived to be 92 god bless him.I remember him saying to me that if those young lads who enlisted in their thousands to fight and die for their country may have thought twice if they new what our country was like today.

Amazing and humbling.
My father was killed and buried in Tunisia in the Second World War, 10 weeks before I was born, so always a poignant time for me.
