THE QUEEN LEADS THE NATION IN REMEMBRANCE


The Queen led the nation in two minutes’ silence laying the first wreath at the Centotaph on Sunday, as the Royal family, politicians and war veterans gathered for the Remembrance day service in honour of British serviceman killed in battle. It was a sad day with four British serviceman killed in an attack on a patrol boat in Basra and another three seriously injured. If ever the country needed a reminder of the constant and awful danger British troops face in Iraq, this was it. With the death toll of British troops now at 125 and no end to the Iraq crisis in sight, surely it is time for Mr Blair to bring our troops home before any more lives are lost.
