Remembrance Day Billy Mitchell Today, Sunday 10th, is Remembrance Sunday and I, like thousands of my fellow citizens, will attend one of the many commemorations that will take place across the country - indeed across Europe and many Commonwealth countries. In the lead-up to Remembrance Day the BBC showed a documentary (Somme Journey) featuring David Ervine and Tom Hartley. Already I have heard negative comments from people within both communities. There are those who feel that, once again, Ervine was seen to be fraternising with a republican - and at a place that is regarded by loyalists as sacred ground. Others have expressed doubts about the wisdom of a republican like Hartley visiting the war graves of British soldiers in the company of a leading loyalist.
