At 11 o’clock tonight, 100 years ago Britain declared war on Germany, and thus bringing Britain its empire into the first world war, and therefore meaning the war was not contained in just Europe. I ask that everyone take a moment to think to the millions of people that died during the war, and put themselves in the shoes of the soldiers who were told that they were to go to war, and how you would have felt under the same circumstances. Also, I ask that you switch off all but one lamp, candle or light in your house to pay your respect to the soldiers who lost their lives in this tragic war.
Thank you
