Remembrance Sunday (2021x45)

Data de estreia: Nov 14, 2021

Sean Fletcher marks Remembrance Sunday at Imperial War Museum North in Manchester. He meets Christian veterans from different conflicts, including the remarkable 97-year-old Bernard Morgan, who shares his experiences of being one of the youngest RAF sergeants on D-Day. Sean also discovers how the unique design of the museum helps visitors to reflect on conflict and visits a new installation under construction. Called Poppies, it is a permanent sculpture made from ceramic poppies that famously adorned the Tower of London in 2014. Pam Rhodes visits the poppy factory in Kent to mark 100 years of the Royal British Legion and its poppy appeal. She explores the origins of the charity and why its purpose in supporting veterans and leading the nation in Remembrance remains so important. And back at the museum, a youth theatre group prepares for a performance exploring why remembrance is relevant for each new generation. With traditional remembrance hymns from across the UK, including a special performance of In Flanders Fields by The Choristers.
