On Remembrance Sunday relatives pay respects to the loved ones they've lost in conflicts. For many people memories may be fading of parents or grandparents who served during the Worlds Wars, but for others the pain is still fresh. Elaine Fairly is a primary school teacher. In 2007 her brother Peter McFerran was serving as part of the RAF Regiment. He was killed in a rocket attack on Basra Airport in 2007. He was just 24 years old. She says, "Every day is Remembrance Day for the families, we remember it all the time. But Remembrance Day, that special day, is important for the rest of the world to remember the sacrifices that they've made, they didn't sign up to die, they signed up to do a job that they loved. And they never came home."
