Remembrance Sunday: what is the value of remembering the past?
On Remembrance Sunday 2018 in the Tower of London around 10,000 candles were lit in the dry moat to remember those who fell in World War 1.
The event started with smoke drifting as in the battle fields of France.
A single flame was carried from the Tower. The flame was passed across the field, slowly the candles were lit to represent those who had fallen.
Eventually the whole Tower was circled with light. It was a moving display with the candle lighters creating shadows on the Tower walls like a tableau of soldiers in ‘no-mans land’ and haunting music was playing.
