s the custodians of Remembrance, The Royal British Legion called on the nation once again to unite in honouring the memory of the fallen, by commemorating the contribution made by British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts. As is usual here in Spain, the occasion was also used to pay homage to the many Spanish servicemen and civilians who have died
