00:00 After the war, many of you dedicated your lives to telling the story of what happened here.
00:05 You sold poppies and raised millions for charity.
00:09 You taught generations of young people about the horrors of war.
00:14 You lived lives of quiet dignity and dedication in your homes, workplaces, communities.
00:21 Yet, with each passing year, it falls now to those of us who listened in awe to your stories
00:29 to pass them on to our own children and grandchildren.
00:34 Because only by remembering can we make certain that the cause you fought for,
00:40 that so many of your friends and colleagues died for,
00:44 that great cause of freedom, peace and democracy, will never be taken for granted.
00:52 That is why we come here today.
