Remembrance Sunday was marked on Sunday as planned by our small group of three who laid the wreaths at the War Memorial and read the Act of Remembrance and the Kohima Epitaph. It was good to see the villagers who stood at their doors or gateways and joined in the two-minute silence with us. It leant an air of normality to the proceedings and added solemnity to the occasion.
We hope that next year we will be able to be back to normal.
Thursday, Armistice Day is also the day of the funeral of Revd Dr Derek Turner. Please remember him and Revd Maureen on the day and in your prayers.
If you have not seen it elsewhere, you may be interested in this link that was sent to me by a friend in the Arts Society Upper Thames, which tells the story of the burial of the Unknown Soldier in Westminster Abbey, commissioned by Westminster Council and including the Military Wives Choirs singing 'Abide with Me'.
