I think for today it's a really great day. Royal British Legion and the London Poppy Day appeal
0:05
raising so much money for great causes and particularly the veterans and the veterans
0:10
families. All those people have gone before us and the amazing work that they've done
0:14
So we really want to support those and also thinking now of the friends and colleagues that
0:20
I've lost and many people have lost over the years but also those that are still suffering
0:27
as a result of previous time in conflict. And Marty, obviously we've seen members of all three services today
0:32
And we've seen people with a smile on their face This is a commemorative moment, of course, as the country prepares for remembrance
0:39
But also for a lot of people, it's an opportunity for them to encounter the armed forces
0:43
With a sense of pride as they do so Yeah, absolutely, and this is a wonderful opportunity for the armed forces
0:49
Civilians and militia-serving people To come and meet the public who have been so incredibly generous
0:55
And enthusiastic about their support today So we are very, very grateful You still are a helicopter pilot, although I think your current job is slightly less exciting than the previous sort of fixed wing experience
1:06
We've also seen Royal Marines here abseiling from the station. It's a small display of some of the capabilities that our Armed Forces personnel have
1:14
Do you think that sort of display that we've seen sort of gives another side to the Armed Forces that people don't normally see
1:20
I think for people on their daily commutes to be able to see some of the things that the Armed Forces can do
1:26
but also to talk to the individuals to understand their experience and also to share their experiences
1:31
A number of people talk to us about their fathers, their grandfathers, their mothers, sisters and their family and what they've done in the forces
1:37
It's a really great experience to be able to talk to them
