remembrance

Macron, France's first president born after the colonial era, has always promised to work on remembrance and reconciliation against the background of the two countries' painful shared history.

Last week, more than a dozen historians said parliament was being made "the place of honourable remembrance for a declared antisemite".

Her husband, the Prince of Wales, will also deliver a video message to young people, sharing his views on the importance of wearing a red poppy and to say that "remembrance is for everyone".

The royal family is also set to gather on Sunday for the traditional day of remembrance for soldiers killed in wars, Remembrance Sunday.

“They want their country back . . . but they also yearn for recognition and remembrance from that country that no longer exists, from wives and children, from future descendants, from the men they used to be.”
