Seven years ago the Association with the Royal Navy raised the ship's bell from the remains of Hood, to serve as a permanent memorial to the last ships company.

In a ceremony on this day in 2015 Princess Anne tolled eight bells on the bell and ended the watch that began that fateful day in 1941.

OTD 82 years ago the pride of the Royal Navy and the fleet flagship HMS Hood steamed into battle with the Nazi battleship Bismarck.

As Hood turned to bring all her guns to bear on the battleship a shot from Bismarck pierced the foredeck of Hood into the munitions storage. The resulting catastrophic explosion tore the battlecruiser apart. She sank within minutes with the loss of 1415 men of her 1418 ship's compliment.

Last weekend, I was up early to support and our LAS colleagues at the National Service of in London.

Working in large crowds is always an interesting challenge, specially when you're right in the area that's being broadcast live on tv!

I may live in a small village on the edge of a city, but love the huge turnout to remembrance.

On Remembrance Sunday remembering my Great Uncle James McMahon from Clara, Co. Offaly who fell at Beaurevoir, Aisne attacking the Third Hindenburg Line on the "March to Victory" on 8th October 1918, 5 weeks before WWI ended.

This time of year always brings to mind my grandfather Albert 'Bert' Cox who served in the RAF VR as an aircraft fitter (technical corporal, service no 1099623) from 15th May 1940 and 7th March 1946.

He survived the war but many didn't including two of his cousins Thomas and Frank.

Finished my last Poppy selling shift for this year. People’s generosity always astounds me this time of year even when we’re all struggling. The stories you hear of lost loved ones is heartbreaking
