I visited the @CWGC Thiepval Memorial a few years ago. A majestic, stately memorial that stands with great dignity on the Somme skyline. Very moving to look out across the fields from under the arches.

I dag er det 87 år siden det fascistiske kup i Spanien.
Lad os mindes alle dem der kæmpede og faldt til forsvar for demokrati og frihed og mod fascismen.
Lad os mindes de mange ofre fra årtier med brutal undertrykkelse.
Og lad os håbe det aldrig sker igen.
