The Burial of the Unknown Warrior took place on this day in 1920.
The coffin holds the unidentified remains of a British serviceman who was chosen at random from the thousands of anonymous war dead.
He was given a full state funeral to represent all the unidentified fallen, and millions turned out to honour them - including King George V.
The coffin was interred in Westminster Abbey, buried in French soil, and capped with Belgian marble.
The inscription on the tomb was made from melted down wartime ammunition, and it reads:
"Beneath this stone rests the body
Of a British warrior
Unknown by name or rank
Brought from France to lie among
The most illustrious of the land
And buried here on Armistice Day
11 Nov: 1920, in the presence of
His Majesty King George V
His Ministers of State
The Chiefs of his forces
And a vast concourse of the nation
Thus are commemorated the many
Multitudes who during the Great
War of 1914 – 1918 gave the most that
Man can give life itself
For God
For King and country
For loved ones home and empire
For the sacred cause of justice and
The freedom of the world
They buried him among the kings because he
Had done good toward God and toward
His house"
May God bless him, and all the others.
Lest we Forget.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Charlie Horne, one of Scotland’s last surviving D-Day veterans, aged 100. 🏴🌺
Just 18 years old when he took part in the Normandy landings, Charlie served aboard a minesweeper helping to clear the way for Allied forces on Omaha Beach.
His remarkable life is a reminder of the experiences, sacrifices and stories of a generation we must never forget.
Charlie’s own words carry particular meaning as we mark Remembrance:
“All I ask is that, when we are no longer here to tell you ourselves, you don’t forget them either.”
Our thoughts are with Charlie’s family, friends and everyone at Erskine Veterans Charity who supported him in his final months.
We remember Charlie, and all those who served alongside him. 🌺🕯️

Didn’t appreciate the level of detail in this tifo standing underneath it but what an amazing tribute to those who went “over the top”.
Almost 60000 British casualties & 20000 deaths on the 1st DAY alone.
So many sacrificed their tomorrows so we could have our today’s. 🇬🇧

ALT A high-angle shot captures the Grave of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey, dramatically illuminated in a dark, empty space. The black marble gravestone lies flat on a stone floor, bordered by a thick, rectangular frame of vibrant red poppies. A spotlight shines directly from above, highlighting the grave while leaving the surrounding church floor and background in complete shadow. The brass lettering engraved on the stone is legible, starting with "BENEATH THIS STONE RESTS THE BODY OF A BRITISH WARRIOR UNKNOWN BY NAME OR RANK..."

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning
We will remember them.
