There was no Remembrance Sunday Service held in the village this year, but a few community groups met at the War Memorial on Sunday 8th November and held a two minute silence before laying their poppy wreaths.
On Armistice Day, Wednesday 11th November, the Reverend Gayle Taylor conducted a short service at the War Memorial and several representatives from community groups attended. During the two minute silence, people remembered those who had served our country. Poppy wreaths were then laid in memory of our brave servicemen.
