The BBC will once again mark Remembrance Week across television, radio, and online with a range of original and live programming, including the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance 2024, hosted by Adrian Lester and attended by senior members of the Royal Family, and the National Service of Remembrance at The Cenotaph.

Audio Described commentary of the live events is available via the Red Button and BBC iPlayer, while uninterrupted commentary-free coverage of the live events at the Cenotaph will also be available on iPlayer.

Here's how to follow events across TV, BBC iPlayer, Radio and BBC Sounds.

Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance 2024

BBC One and BBC iPlayer, 9pm-10.40pm, Saturday 9 November

Senior members of the Royal Family will attend The Royal British Legion's annual Festival of Remembrance from the Royal Albert Hall. Hosted by Adrian Lester – music artists include Welsh singing legend Sir Tom Jones, Jack Savoretti, Alexandra Burke, Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha, Samantha Barks and Jake Isaac. The Central Band of the Royal Air Force and The Bands of HM Royal Marines will also create awe inspiring displays of military music.

The Festival will celebrate the men and women who fought in World War Two in 1944, commemorating those who fought on D-Day and in the Normandy campaign, in Italy at Monte Cassino and Kohima and Imphal in East Asia. There will also be stories from those that fought in Afghanistan, a focus on the work the Royal Air Force are doing training Ukrainian pilots and a celebration of the children of those that serve in the armed forces.

His Majesty The King was confirmed as Patron of the Royal British Legion earlier this year.

BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds, 8pm-9pm

Paddy O'Connell presents highlights from the Royal British Legion's Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall with spectacular music from star acts and massed military bands.  This year’s event will celebrate the remarkable men and women who fought in World War II in 1944.  To mark this 80th anniversary, we will commemorate those who fought on D-Day and at Monte Cassino and Kohima.  We will also reflect on recent conflicts – this year marks ten years since UK forces ended combat operations in Afghanistan.  And, we will pay tribute to the children of those that serve in the armed forces, including a special performance from the Service Children’s Community Choir.   

Guests from music, television and military worlds tell Paddy of the special honour it is to be involved in this annual event.  Past and present military personnel will come together to be honoured for their service and dedication in defending our freedoms and way of life.  As the petals fall in the Royal Albert Hall, the festival will pay tribute to all victims of war and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice and those who continue to risk their lives today.  

Music artists include Welsh legend Sir Tom Jones, Jack Savoretti, Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha, Samantha Barks, Alexandra Burke and Jake Isaac. The Central Band of the Royal Air Force and the Bands of HM Royal Marines will create awe-inspiring displays of military music.

今天11月14日,是一個很少人知道的紀念日。
遠在1942年的今天,大日本帝國開始將南洋一帶捉到的戰俘,移監至臺灣各地的戰俘營。
其中的金瓜石戰俘營,就是11月14日開設。1100名戰俘中的500人立即被送進去,最後能活著出來的不滿100人,我們可以得到80%這麽驚人的局部高死亡率。這個局部的高死亡率,其意義並不在於協助我們理解戰俘營整體的狀態,而在於能幫助我們同理這些戰俘所受到的巨大創傷。
金瓜石的戰俘之所以傷亡慘重,主要是高強度的礦坑工作,以及嚴酷的食物與醫藥條件。長時間待在會滲出硫酸銅的坑道內,使得此戰俘營戰俘的健康狀況特別的差。
一般來說,紀念第一、第二次世界大戰的國殤日(11/11)活動,會選在最近的一個星期日舉辦,今年碰巧這一天就是11月14日。來自英國、加拿大、紐西蘭、澳洲的國際友人,以及美國在臺協會的代表,我國的退輔會、中華民國退伍軍人協會代表,齊聚金瓜石的國際終戰和平紀念園區,在風笛聲中,共同追思在戰爭中逝去的寶貴生命,反思和平之不易。
今天就讓我們來讀一首詩,這是一位當年監禁在金瓜石的英軍戰俘所作,他因為非常有寫歌的才華,被營友戲稱為「金瓜石的Robert Burns」(著名蘇格蘭民族詩人),他在金瓜石的期間,以戰俘營為背景寫出了一些不錯的詩歌。
這首〈A Hill on Taiwan〉我讀了十分喜愛,於是花了點時間稍作翻譯------當然只能略具詩歌韻味,與大家分享。

〈A Hill on Taiwan〉
There's a hill on Taiwan
That looks out across the sea.
Where hero's graves with names thereon,
Forever frown on me.
Our comrades lie within thy breast
On yonder mountain steep,
Unafllicted, unoppressed
They sleep the blessed sleep.
Blow gentle winds I ask of thee
Upon their simple graves,
Be quiet! thou angry sea
Disturb not Britain's brave,
Oh willows droop thy heads and weep
Oh vagrants softly tread,
Disturb thou not the blessed sleep
Of Britain's glorious dead.
Oh frowning hill out in the East
The story shall be told.
Of those who lie in stately rest
Within thy bosom cold,
Has not thy hunger been appeased
With a hundred souls or more,
Upon them thou has quickly seized
Why hunger thou for more.
Oh frowning hill I'll see you still
When I am far away.
When shadows fall I'll oft recall
These dark and gloomy days,
When we began thy ascent steep
Bereaved and sore distressed,
To lay our comrades down to sleep
Within thy rugged breast.
---Written by Trumpeter Arthur Smith, 'Kinkaseki' Pow Camp Taiwan 1943

〈台灣有座山〉
台灣有座山,遠眺著海總是皺眉
山上有些墳,墳上寫了英雄是誰
我的同袍葬在你崎嶇的胸膛裡
他們安息,不再苦不再累
風啊!你輕輕地吹,別弄壞他簡陋的墓碑
海啊!你不要怒號,別打擾不列顛的英豪
柳枝垂頭哭泣
遊民腳步放輕
為不列顛光榮而死
別打擾他們休息
極東之外、皺眉的山
故事必須傳下去
我要告訴大家
他們死得多麽光榮
我要告訴大家
他們葬在那山冰冷的胸口
百條人命,再更多命,為何沒能滿足胃口?
他們的命,已被奪走,為何你還覺得不夠?
要離開時,我會看著你在那裡
夜幕低垂,黑暗時光我常想起
那天我踏上這座高山,
那天我受盡了苦、失去了朋友
那天我把同袍
葬在你崎嶇的胸口
------Trumpeter Arthur Smith作,「金瓜石」戰俘營,台灣1943

【和平紀念日 市民獻花致意】
文章重温:http://bit.ly/1SHOkMt
每年的 11 月 11 日,在大陸被稱為「光棍節」,是網購平台推出折扣優惠的日子。但這一日其實有另一意義,就是悼念兩次世界大戰死難者及殉職軍人的「和平紀念日」(Remembrance Day)。今日在中環的和平紀念碑,有人獻花致意,並留下一句「lest we forget」(永誌不忘)。
11 月 11 日為第一次世界大戰結束的日子,Remembrance Day(或稱 Armistice Day)一般譯作「國殤紀念日」,亦作「退伍軍人節」,香港則稱之為「和平紀念日」。在英國、美國、加拿大、澳洲等地,每年 Remembrance Day 均會有紀念活動。


日子多平淡。如果撒些小種子,或許有些微成就。
告訴曹老師,臺大有臺靜農先生文物展,就會引朋友共訪。
告訴同學該來個視訊會議,就會多國商量時段。
多走動,才比較可能感動。附近多老外。兩男一女談天許久了,我經過時,近四點,女的說,我該進去煮飯了。兩位男士都很捨不得,說,好久不見 了呢,但還是得告別的。
從西曬處走經高樓教堂,較陰涼,才知道陽光的可愛。
