Was interested to hear this, in passing, on BBC Breakfast this morning and then to see it confirmed on the website this afternoon.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-36039458I'm not interested in the religious slement of the event, but wondered whether other posters feel that there is a time-period after which looking back is overtaken by or subsumed into looking forward. Can this be extended to commemorations of those who die in wartime, or does the fact that our service men and women die in battle all the time make this a different matter? For instance, will we soon - perhaps after 2018 - lose the 1st World War element of November's Remembrance Day event?
