Me personaly think that this is a disgrace and disrespectful to all who gave there lives for all who served and are serving.
What kind of message does this give to our generation for today.
Anyone else got any opinions on this.

Hi, just to let you know this has nothing to do with H&S, to quote their spokesman (the re-routing of this parade has nothing to do with Health and Safety, this is a council decission) BBC Wales News. So its all down to the local Caerphilly Council, maybe its a cost cutting exercise???????

I will be attending as the Parade Marshall at the Newcastle Emlyn Festival of Remembrance after being nominated by the members of our Legion Branch, and an Honor to accommodate.

I do attend rememberance , but often find it hi-jacked by the church , rememberance sunday has got nothing to do with religion of any kind it ought to be about some of the bravest men that died for our country and gave their lives up for future generations .
It is a very important day for one and all , Brave men { and now women } have laid there lives on the line and if a god of any kind ever exsisted this might never happened .
god wont save you folks , you can only save youself .

cheers all

P. S If you want to find god i think he lives on death row in america , most people seem to find him there .

Big respect the the men who thought in the 2 world wars , They gave us life , and this should never be forgoten , So if an athiest like me can turn up for rememberance so can the rest of the uk , ought to be scale A

Every year we dedicate one of our windows to the poppy appeal and the local RBL use the shop to distribute and collect their collection boxes.

My plans have changed slightly, every year the weekend closest to Rememberence Day I put together an exhibit for my local museum in Peterborough to commemorate exactly what Led has written above. This year the date has been knocked back two weeks due to building work at the museum.

But I will be there all weekend and I will ensure as many people as I can will remember the life, times and in some cases, the ultimate sacrifice of the men of the Royal Welch who put there lives on the line for the freedom we enjoy today. We will remember them.

Lest we forget
