It means two things to me. My father-in-law, Ron Fennell, who has recently passed, was in national service. And my father’s pop John Hargraeves in World War I was a runner in France.

It’s remembrance of the people who sacrificed their lives — particularly in the first and second world wars. There’s been a lot of sacrifice.
