Like 4 million other people, I went to pay my respects at the commemorative art installation at The Tower of London.

Dulce et Decorum Est
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
- Wilfred Owen, Dulce et Decorum Est
