Title: Those who do not grow old.
Characters: OC, Jack, Ianto.
Rating: G
Summary: Jack attends the remembrance service every year.
A/N I wrote this with the intention of posting it on Remembrance Sunday last year, but for some reason didn’t. Given the events of Children of Earth this seems even more sad than when I first wrote it.

(  As the service draws to close I see him. He’s stood where I’ve always seen him, under the shadow of an old yew tree, his RAF greatcoat flapping about him in the breeze. )

Remembrance Day.

Thinking of all those who have had their lives touched by conflict. Including my nan, who because of war never got to meet her father.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Laurence Binyon.
