Slow but sure....
ARMISTICE DAY
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
In 1918, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the guns fell silent and World War I ended.
Armistice Day has been a tradition in Britain since King George V issued a proclamation in 1919 that "all locomotion should cease, so that, in perfect stillness, the thoughts of everyone may be concentrated on reverent remembrance of the glorious dead".
At 11am today, I will join the rest of the country in a two-minute silence to remember those who gave their lives in the two world wars and in more than 70 conflicts since.
May God Bless and keep all our soldiers fighting today in his care.
