The Trust and the public gathered together on Friday the 10th of November to pay their respects to those who have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty.
Thank you to everyone who attended our Remembrance Day Service. We had an amazing turnout for such a memorable and moving event. It was heartwarming to see how many people from the local community came to share this day with us.
We would like to reshare the poem read as part of the service.
'In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.'
In Flanders Fields, By John McCrae
