And on Sunday to mark Remembrance Sunday and the 100th anniversary of the end of World War 1, British Rowing is encouraging rowing clubs to take part in Blades of Remembrance. All club members are asked to mark the moment of silence at 11am by standing in front of the clubs, displaying club blades as a mark of respect for club members who have lost their lives to war and to say Thank You to all those who have served, sacrificed and changed the world. If you have blazers please wear these too.
Have a nice Tuesday and a better week
