Myself and some of the other #CWGFInterns have just been to see Journey’s End, and what an incredible performance it was. So unbelievably moving! Lovely to see a wee donation box for the CWGF too!

Due to some technical issues, I will be posting the two remaining #CWGFInterns personal stories from Tyne Cot. Today Colette McCourt tells the heroic story of Father William Doyle. 'Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay his life down for his friends.' #Inperpetuity

It was an absolute honour to have attended the Remembrance ceremony under the Menin Gate this morning. Words really cannot describe this experience. #CWGCremembers #CWGFInterns Commonwealth War Graves

For our last personal story on #Armistice2019 #cwgfintern Lucy tells us about Captain William Miles Kington. This story is an incredible example of how our work still continues over 100 years later. #Inperpetuity #cwgcremembers Commonwealth War Graves

One of the most moving moments during the annual Last Post Ass. Ieper service on #ArmisticeDay Commonwealth War Graves’s Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial is when thousands of poppies fall from the top of the Gate. Here we see the team responsible, Gerry, Mark and Hugh, in action. #WeAreCWGC #OurWorkContinues

The CWGF Interns based at Tyne Cot Cemetery are today taking over the Commonwealth War Graves's Instagram channel and posting throughout the day on the stories section. Please do take a look at what a day in their life of an Intern is like by following here: ow.ly/ic7q30mlQRN #CWGFinterns

Alongside laying a wreath with the rest of my amazing #CWGFInterns last night, I had the incredible honour of reciting the exhortation under the Gate. At the end of it all, commemorating the men who sacrificed their lives during WW1 will forever remain my proudest achievement.

The CWGF Interns who have been based at Tyne Cot Cemetery for the last four months have now returned home. Before leaving though they recorded this goodbye video as they looked back on their time in the role. #CWGFinterns
