Lest we forget... 11/11/11

Most writers have their dream piece of copy that they wish they'd written, but someone else beat them to it. And I'm no exception!

I could give you loads of examples of things I'd love to be able to put my name at the bottom of - from clever ad straplines to some altogether more profound stuff.

But, as it's Remembrance Sunday tomorrow, here's one of my absolute favourites...

'They shall grow not old,

as we that are left grow old.

Age shall not weary them,

nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun,

and in the morning,

we will remember them.'

(From Laurence Binyon's poem "For the Fallen"

- first published in The Times, September 1914)
