Remembrance Day 2025

Remembrance Day 2025

Season: 6 Episode: 34

Each November, as the nation falls silent, we remember them, the men and women who gave everything in the service of others. Their names are carved in stone, whispered in churches, and carried in the hearts of families across generations. But behind every name lies a story of bravery, sacrifice, and humanity in the darkest of times.

As we honour all who served and fell, we pause to reflect on their enduring legacy, and the simple truth that courage, in any age, is never forgotten.

This show is the first in the November Series, Lest We Forget, where we highlight the bravery of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.
