AS EVERYONE'S thoughts at this time of year turn to remembering those who fought in conflicts since the First World War, we asked members of our We Grew Up in Newport Facebook group who they would be thinking about today, November 11.

Jude Bell: I will be remembering my dad, whose birthday it would of been on November 13. He would have been 100. I am so very proud of him and all he did for us in the Second World War.

Christine Anne Barrington: On this day I think of all the ones who sacrificed their lives for people like us, so we could be free to live our lives as we want to. I also remember my grandfather, who was in Egypt, his brother, my Uncle William, who was on the Arandora Star, and my Uncle George, who was in Burma.

Marion Mahoney: My Uncle Cyril and also remembering my dear nephew David Denbury who was killed in action in the Gulf War on February 21, 1991. Lest We Forget.

GC Hopkins: My two great-great uncles, Albert Ernest Hopkins and Richard Pitt Hopkins, who both died serving King and Country.

Sandra Still: My great uncle David Henry Palmer who was killed in action at Gallipoli in 1915.

Geoff Haggerty Betts: My mum's brother who never came. We have no photo of him, only his ring he gave my mum to mind. It did have VP on it (Victor Parsons) but that has warn off since I've had it.

Lorna Payne: My uncle Sydney Edge who was killed at Dunkirk.

Gwyneth Dobbs: My grandfather Edward George Callaghan, awarded Military Medal in the First World War. His is the first name in Newport Book of Remembrance.

Harry Hunt: I will be remembering my great grand uncle, Hubert Martin Underwood. He died of gas poisoning at the battle of Ypres on October 13, 1915. He lived on Crown street.

Patricia Pearson: To all the brave persons who gave their lives for us, thank you, thank you, will. Never, ever be forgotten.

Mary Shellard: Memories, will be thinking of my grandad Henry Perkins who served in the First World War and the Second World War. Also my dad Ken Wilks who was in the 8th Army in the Second World War. They will never be forgotten.

Billy Cox: Thinking of all who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom, including those I served with, those who are still on patrol and those still alive suffering the horrors of war mentally and physically still day by day. Bless you all.
