    What an excellent report - it really gives an idea of what it must be like to attend. I thought you talked to an interesting range of people too.

    You asked the right questions and got some interesting answers. Well done. I am sure the rest of your trip will be just as worthwhile.

    Wow! That video really rather upset me actually. Which just makes me wander what it must have been like actually being there. It made me feel really bad though because we don't have big celebrations here, and i think that we probably should do. It is really hard thinking about all those people who died because there is a rediculous amount of them, and even more we don't know the names of. It is just really really upsetting to think about.

    What a very professional report.
    It had everything-interesting comments from the people interviewed showing the various nationalities involved as well as the emotion of the cermony and the act of remembrance.

    i think it is good that we have remembrance day because we should remember the men who fought for our lives and to think about whats going on now in Afganistan.

    A good report, and The Menin Gate is quite something. Very sobering, as you will find when you visit the other memorials during your trip
