Ladies and gentlemen, bore da a croeso, a very good morning to you and welcome to Silence in the Square.
It’s a very special event here for us in Swansea. Silence in the Square has been running in Trafalgar Square
for the last 3 years, this is the first time we’re holding this event here.
There’s so much work that the British Legion does when these lads come home, maybe in a blaze of glory, maybe in publicity,
but they’re there to pick up the pieces for many young men as they come back, but also as they mature the British Legion is there for them forever.
Ladies and gentlemen, Blake
And there's another country, I've heard of long ago, Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know
And we’ll gather lilacs in the spring again And walk together down an English lane.
And we talked of girls and dropping bombs on Rome
And we talked of girls and dropping bombs on Rome And we thought of the quiet dead and the loud celebrities exhorting us to slaughter.
We are the dead. Short days ago we lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow.
Loved and were loved and now we lie in Flanders’ fields.
We stand together in our Remembrance of those who have found and died for this country from the First World War 91 years ago,
through to our current conflicts in Afghanistan.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
