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.
