Remembering


(image from islandmeadow.co.uk)

There is a commemorative event at the Royal British Legion tonight, and UJ is coming over so that we can go together.  I have had a quick look at a programme this morning, and there will be readings, sketches, songs, prayers, and a Drum head service, as well as an act of remembrance, reading out the names of all local lads who were killed.  It will last just over 90 minutes, and I think it will be well worth attending.

Editing to add that we have had a lovely evening - some local singers, lots of war poetry, rolls of honour read out and remembered, the village band playing their hearts out, and some great company.
