Remembrance Day  by happypat

Remembrance Day

I walked up to the village this morning to the Remembrance service.
A good turn out with several wreaths laid, prayers, reveille & of course two minutes silence.
We sang the National Anthem, the first time most of had sung God Save the King.
It takes a bit of getting used to!

At the going down of the sun, we shall remember them.


Three good things:
1. Gardening this afternoon.
2. Harry planted the two small red Acers.
3. So warm, it’s really helping with the heating worry we all have this winter.
Nicely captured remembrance service

It’s good that this is still observed, as well as the actual Remembrance Sunday services.

It was the first time I had been to this village service as of course it hasn’t been held for a couple of years & before that we weren’t as near. The two village schools represented & must have been a hundred people at least.
Our daughter had been to her village one & the A6 road passes through the centre so the police stopped all the traffic for two minutes….I was most surprised as it’s a very busy road.

A lovely gathering. I think Charles will be a good king. I know I’m outside looking in, but for all appearances, he looks like a fine fellow.
