Passing of a Generation

Logo for Passing of a Generation

Live coverage from Westminster Abbey. The generation who fought in World War One has now passed into history with the death in 2009 of the last 'Tommy', Harry Patch. At Westminster Abbey, The Queen, the Prime Minister and representatives from across the world join families of those who fought in the 'war to end all wars'. In a special service, they honour the dead and mark the passing of an extraordinary generation.
