It means remembering our lost family. I wanted to bring the grandchildren to remember their great and great-great-grandfathers who fought.

It's to honour and remember those who lost their lives in dreadful war-time situations, and for this country it was always fought on overseas soil so the sacrifices are even harder, and they did it with great courage.

I've got several members of my family who have been servicemen and women, and some have paid the ultimate sacrifice, so it's my chance to remember them.
