Nick Clegg’s Message on Remembrance Sunday 2014

7 November 2014

As part of this year’s centenary to mark the outbreak of World War One, hundreds of thousands of ceramic poppies now surround the Tower of London. It is an incredible sight, with each poppy planted to represent a British soldier who lost their life during this conflict.

These poppies, alongside those we wear every November, are there to remind us of the sacrifices made by our Armed Forces – both past and present – to serve their country.

The job they do is dangerous and demanding, with months spent away from their family and friends. But the courage, loyalty and enduring sense of duty they show is always inspiring.

So please join me today in saying thank you to the generations of British service men and women, regulars and reservists, who have put themselves in harm’s way to keep us and others around the world safe.

And join me also in saying “thank you” to their loved ones who also deserve our gratitude and respect for the many sacrifices that they made, too. Thank you for all you do.
