[Swprograms] Remembrance on BBC: Sun 1030

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** U K. BBC World Service pre-empts regular programming as it does each year,
on Sunday morning, Nov 13, presumably on all streams, but finding a SW
frequency audible in NAm may be difficult; even more so being awake at that
hour:

1030-1120 Service Of Remembrance --- The annual Service of Remembrance and
wreath-laying ceremony from the Cenotaph, London, where those who have died in
the two World Wars, and more recent conflicts are remembered. Presenter Fergal
Keane.

However, this is another example of WS listeners not getting the full
programme, for on Radio 4 there is this:

1030-1145 Ceremony of Remembrance --- From the Cenotaph. Fergal Keane sets the
scene in London's Whitehall for the solemn ceremony when the nation remembers
the sacrifice made by so many in the two World Wars.

The traditional music of Remembrance is played by the Massed Bands and, after
the Last Post and Two Minutes' Silence, Her Majesty the Queen lays the first
wreath on behalf of nation and Commonwealth. 

The Bishop of London leads a short Service of Remembrance, then, during the
March Past, Fergal talks to veterans across the world about their memories of
past conflicts and the dangers facing those who serve in the armed forces today
