Paisley Photographs of the Paisley war memorial commemoration to the fallen.
Volunteers from Paisley on the web were at the Cenotaph this morning to give our respects along with schoolchildren, politicians, members of the public and members of the armed forces serving and served to commemorate all those lost in all conflicts and wars over the years. Lest we forget.
TOMORROWS VETERAN
When I am old
With my medals on my chest
Will you be grateful
That I did my very best
When I am old
Will those words still haunt me
‘We shouldn’t have been there’
Even though, I helped keep you free
When I am old
And tears for my comrades fall
Will any of you understand
Side by side, we stood proud and tall
When I am old
Will you forget about me
Because if today you don’t acknowledge us, then….
Tomorrow our parades, you won’t want to see!!
