The Unknown Warrior

Chosen by a brigadier from a group of your fellow fallen, the ceremony poignant but solemn To be interred in the abbey of Westminster amongst the famous, the knights, poets kings, a prime minster.     Laid to rest as the unknown warrior in a coffin of Hampton Court palace Oak decorated with a kings sword and a shield your body returned to your homeland from a muddy battlefield.     Your body flanked by 100 warriors bearers of our highest honour for valour , as your coffin is interred the focal point of a nations thanks to those who lost their life in service of their country inferred.   Decorated by bouquets and wreaths laid by more than one royal, to your memory they remain ever loyal. We will never forget the sacrifice of every soldier by paying respects to one who shall never grow older.   The Unknown Warrior
