Dear Editor,
For the past four or five years we have visited the Derek Doubleday Arboretum on Remembrance Day, to walk through the young trees, meditate quietly at the memorial, observe the two-minute silence, watch the planes return to the airport, leave our poppies there.
For those who do not like crowds and sound systems or do not seek a religious service, it is a peaceful way to take time to reflect quietly on the solemnity of the day and lives lost in war.
I, for one, would love to keep it just the way it is.
Diana Letts, Langley
