On November 11, my husband and I went to the war memorial at the bottom of Streatham Common as we have done for the last few years.

There were about 200 people representing many churches, the British Legion, councillors, MPs, scout and guide groups and many other organisations, as well as police and photographers. We had a service, wreaths and crosses laid and we were told at the end that they hoped to see us next year.

But where have they all been the last few years when the attendance was only 10 people?
