Inside, was a house wrapped, plenary of elderly medal-clad veteran, proud encara protective families, #some how much hand-sanitizer toting tourists, and #several visitor dignitaries. The statues of Abbey of esteemed statesmen of the past glared down to the First Minister, The Mayor of Sir of Westminster, and His Real Highness The Duke of Gloucester.
It was a bittersweet day Westminster Abbey. The Normandy Veteran' the literature of Association has declared that this would be the last such event. "Inevitably, The membership of the NVA decreases with each year of no. Finally any veteran will remain."
The poppies was abundance in Westminster Abbey Evensong where the 65th anniversary of the Normandy the campaign was marked. Costing the lives of miles, the Normandy the invasion was most of amphibious operation massive in the history and he have tried one turning point in the war.
And then it was on and we everything shuffled out of down. It has taken ages to achieve the door, a slow-moving parade of canes and wheelchairs. We finally spilt exterior to find tears, handshakes, flashing cameras, a celebration of pride. For a moment, time and his wounds lifted of his faces and we could see to the boys that these men had been once so they swapped his histories of medal and his memories.
Any man or the woman is born big. Each how of #prpers is tempered by our time. And is correct to honour that heeded the call to duty of. It looked around in this brave generation of #that has been so much asked. So many men have not left never Normandy, while it was obvious that the survivors have not left never Normandy behind.
Then we #everything burst in God he Saves the King, the veterans that look #directly advances when if soldiers once again, singing to another time, to this faraway beach, to his youth lost and his brothers fallen.
To the finalizar the service, wreaths has been posed in the Grave of the Unknown Warrior like the Last Post has done his plaintive plea.
Reveille Has sounded, imploring we always to remember. When the bugle has cut the air, the veterans struggled to be a bit more right, solemn, sinister-faced.
And pues do.
But sadly, these were the only words than Sir Percy has spoken in these heroic men and of the women. His direction has turned quickly to an irrelevant bemoaning of youth today. "Anybody comprises spit and polish anymore." It was a shame. This was an occasion to celebrate bravery and service. Instead, has chosen to chide we with the same kind of speech imagines these probably listened veterans they when they were young.
Silence.
The Reverend Martyn Percy we has remembered of Winston Churchill words,
will not grow old when we this remains grows old: Age no weary his neither the years condemn.In that goes down of the solo, and in the morning,will remember them.
When I am firstly come in England, my boyfriend finger me the history of a friend that there has been an idea to hire an airplane to fly on Támesis and release 3 million poppies. All the world has said could not be done, but he he anyway. It has fallen them of big on and the river has run red with poppies that Remembrance Day.
Pageantry And pride, England knows as to celebrate his heroes and his history. The readings moved, the hymns, sung by the Westminster Abbey Heart of Special Service, was haunting. When it could not them see of my seat, the effect of the heart and the spectacular organ of Abbey was of the music that comes directly of the angels. And when our prayers repeated of the anciano stonewalls, the communal voice of the congregation sounded like thunder. This was as Westminster Abbey has been meant to be experienced, majestic, beautifully has lit, plenary of worshipers, a church in work.
Outside, the security was tight. The stark red of his proper poppies contrasted with the dark uniforms and of the faces of stern of the policemen. I have not been never frisked church before.
Now, had arrived fair of America where do not use the symbols of poppies to honour our veterans. It had not listened never of Day of Poppy. And besides, seldom can comprise a word my boyfriend is train to say because of the difference in accents. Pues When it has said me this history, have listened the word "puppies," no "poppies." It was mortified. The carnage! To this day achieve a chill whenever the River Támesis.
And could feel also, the presence of these boys that have been lost, who had sacrificed his occasion to men become never.
This is that time of year when each lapel sports a red paper poppy to commemorate British soldiers fallen. A beautiful tradition followed by the young and old, soldier and civil equally. Tongue in a nation that remembers.
The service has begun like graceful procession of target gauntlet-gloved the veterans paraded #by the aisles. They have carried big flags, of NVA put across United Kingdom. They have filled the church with colour, the jeweled show of the standards down that they match Abbey gorgeous stained-windows of glass on. When the elderly the men struggled beneath his weight, the flags have agitated unsteadily, like ship masts in his way in port after a long trip.
Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But is, such time, the end of the beginning.
This service would be different besides. The fact that almost each seat has been taken half an early testified hour to this, when it has done the grey line of folded wheelchairs against a muro, and the program notes to advise listened proper-help settings.
But the day belonged in the veterans. The Ears pushed wide by escuchadasayudas, white hair feathering bald domes, shiny decorations starched jackets, have seated proud and attentive same when his hombros stooped of the weight of his memories.

Visiting Westminster Abbey
Have walked out of the past of sanctuary the graves of the first King Elizabeth and his brother, who was also a king and known fondly when Bloody Mary. The siblings was archenemies life, but rest peace Westminster Abbey beside each how another for all eternity.
Balancing the a bit gothic, historical will have of Blake was the world-wide presence real of a black woman of Jamaica who seated fair in front of me. It has carried a very big, purple hat felt. I have decided that I have liked him when she lavished a smile warm in a bewildered looking elderly sir with a bushy white moustache and a British accent that has asked permission to take the together seat his. My admiration for her has grown when it has given a disdainful sniff to the self-of young entity rectory assistant that has slipped on in his grey cassock to chastise him because his mobile telephone has begun to play Amazing Gràcia fair before the service has begun.
It was a bit envious of the young woman that has entered the cathedral after me and asked the usher yes could seat in the last row of chairs that were roped was and no for use by church goers. It has said that there is precisado be there, he aparta of the rest of #prpers, because it was claustrophobic. I have suspected has loved fair to be more next to the graves of Charlotte Bronte, Rudyard Kipling and D.H. Lawrence. It would have liked me also to seat behind there in the alcove, which also resists the last rests of Dickens, Byron and Keats and imagine the one who could have been as in fact answer Westminster Abbey in the company of such literary greats.
The hour of adoration has begun with the heart soprano soloist singing My Soul Doth Magnify the Sir. When have listened in his voice soar on top of the rafters could not help but remember filling of John of Elton Westminster Abbey with his song on the Rose of England Sir Diana funerals.
I have answered a evensong service Westminster Abbey. The People have been worshipping in this historic place in London for miles years. My chair was beside a pillar decorated with a black marble busto of poet and painter William Blake. It felt a bit that it bothers having his eyes in me when I have begged and has sung. Blake Has affirmed has seen once the face of God in the sky. The Creator looked down in a tree that there has been a quartet of angels fortunately swinging of his branches. Blake Has believed that the imagination was the gift the plus big of God to human beings. It has created his proper distribution of fairly creepy mythological creatures to present in his paintings. Blake Is also the illustrator of the book of Dante on Hell.
The service has been quickly. We increase and seated and kneeled. We have said the Prayer of the Sir and the Nicene Creed. The rector has read the history of Joshua of the Old Will and then begged for each member of the real family. No doubt in spite of his wealth and notoriety, or such time because of him, precisan the grace of God and guidance so when anybody of #prpers .
Justo before I have stepped out of the door looked down and found my #firmly planted feet Charles Darwin tombstone. A recent subject of a magazine norteamericana describes the evolution/creationism the wars that go between public school boards and some Christian churches in United States. It seems ironic that the ideas of Darwin are train to cause such problems for the church that goes folks, when it is buried in the world the plus old and church more famous.
When have gone out the wrought doors of iron surroundings to Westminster Abbey looked in the blessing engraved in the muro exterior of the church.To the living-graceTo the dead-restTo the world-wide- peaceI #down muttered- Amén.
