At 10am we will gather together and hold a short service with hymns, readings and a sermon. Then at 10:45am we will make our way to the Waddington War Memorial and at approximately 10:55am our Act of Remembrance will commence with the laying of wreaths, two minutes silence, prayers and singing the national anthem.You are invited to join us for either or both of these services. Many people have found these services to be a source of comfort and reassurance.
