This years Armistice Day will fall on Wednesday of this week; being the 11th November. A short ceremony will be held on the Green, around the Flagpole at 11.00. The Act of Remembrance will be conducted by Rev Clare Challis, the vicar of St John the Baptist.
We are grateful to Steve Greenwood who will sound the Last Post and Reveille and also accompany the Hymn and National Anthem and to Ian Moore OBE the flag master.
11.00 on the 11th day of the 11th month marks the effective ending of the First World War leading to the Treaty of Verseille and peace after four years of bloody warfare. As history tells us, it didn’t last long. But today we gather to think about and remember all those involved in conflicts since then: Malaya. Aden, Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Kosovo, the Gulf, Afghanistan and, sadly, those that are still on going.
This is a good time to reflect on the service and sacrifice of those members of the Armed Forces and their families, both serving and veterans who were there, and are here for our Nation’s security.
