This year’s Remembrance Day in London featured only six surviving D-Day veterans, a poignant reminder of their dwindling numbers. Among them was 101-year-old Joe Randall, who participated in the Normandy landings. As veterans marched past the Cenotaph, the ceremony highlighted the contrast between their memories and the presence of younger generations, including children who lost parents in service. King Charles and political leaders also laid wreaths, reflecting on both past sacrifices and ongoing conflicts, all observed amid the solemnity of time marked by Big Ben’s toll.
