Today our uniformed organisations joined us in a Parade Service to carry out our act of Remembrance. Derek read the fourth verse of 'For the fallen' (The Ode) by Robert Laurence Binyon.They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.At the going down of the sun and in the morningWe will remember them.Then our organist Josie played the Last Post before and after our 2 minutes silence. The National Anthem was sung and our uniformed organisations paraded out with their flags.
