EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured by photographer Jonathan Barker, we are transported back to a crisp November day in 1987, where the small village of Tywardreath in Cornwall gathers to commemorate Remembrance Day. The image showcases members of the local branch of the Royal British Legion patiently awaiting their turn to lay wreaths at the war memorial outside St Andrews Church. The scene is filled with symbolism and emotion as a vibrant flag flutters proudly above them, representing unity and national pride. A banner bearing the words "Remembrance Day" serves as a solemn reminder of sacrifice and gratitude towards those who fought for our freedom. Adorned with medals that speak volumes about their bravery and service, these veterans stand tall, embodying resilience and strength. Their Cornish heritage shines through in every detail - from their accents to their shared sense of community spirit. As they prepare to honor fallen heroes on this significant day marking the armistice, one can't help but be moved by their unwavering dedication. This powerful photograph encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also pays tribute to all those who have served selflessly for our nation's well-being. It reminds us that remembrance is not just an act confined within history books; it lives on through generations as we continue honoring those who made unimaginable sacrifices so that we may live freely today.
