Extract from For The Fallen by Robert Laurence Binyon (1869-1943)
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Such a beautiful photo and a wonderful way to remember those lost x

ReplyDeleteI love Roath Park, I try to take a walk there when I visit my son as he lives so close. A lovely tribute picture to so many dear to your family.
