A sincere moment

As I got myself a poppy yesterday - one of the lapel ones actually - I witnessed a most touching and heart-felt moment. Totally unexpected.

Just in front of me was an elderly couple 'purchasing' their poppies from a young servicewoman. The exchange between them went like this:

'Thank you sir' said the servicewoman
'No, thank you' came the reply.

The gentlemen said his thank you with such sincerity it actually stopped me in my tracks. A genuinely heart-warming exchange of a few words that meant so much.

Let us remember all those who have given their lives.
