This year, today, marks the centenary of the Armistice that ended the First World War. Ceremonies in many countries have taken place to commemorate that event, and acknowledge the carnage that went before it.
I have just watched livestreaming of the ceremony at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris where Pres. and Mrs Trump were present along with Pres Putin, Chancellor Merkel and Pres and Mme Macron. The music was amazing and Pres Macron gave a very uplifting speech calling for peace and a better world.
He kept repeating "Let us remember". I hope we do, otherwise what was it all for?
