I have attended Sunday Remembrence at a cenotaph (in whichever town I resided that year) every year since I turned 18.
In each place it is somewhat different.
In my home town it was a small affair. Barely attended and some straightforward words. No depth of literature or political will; it isn't as relevant to them.
In my university town it was a diverse affair. Many ages, many creeds, many worlds. It was oddly right but oddly political.
In my current town. A military town if there ever was one; it is a despairingly religious event.

I don't feel any of these have been honest.
