REMEMBRANCE Day is approaching. It is the occasion when our nation pays tribute to the brave men and women who gave their lives in two world wars so that we might enjoy the freedoms of today.
It is also an opportunity to remember those who have fallen during more recent conflicts in the defence of peace and liberty.
We must never allow time to dull the memory of their sacrifice, nor forget the pain felt by their loved ones.
We can show our gratitude and our respect for those whose lives were so tragically cut short by helping the Royal British Legion in the valuable work it does for ex-servicemen and women and their dependants.
I ask everyone, both young and old, to support this year's Millennium Poppy Appeal with all the generosity they can afford.
COUN MARY DRINKWATER,
Mayor of Worcester.
