REMEMBRANCE DAY 2020
The spectre of Covid-19 was instrumental in the ad hoc and improvised and impromptu planning for celebration of Remembrance Sunday. In the event that only added to the success of the occasion.
Word circulated that wreaths would be laid at 11 o’clock and as long as social distancing was observed, the park could be entered and the ceremony observed. The commemoration was started by four ladies singing the hymn, “I vow to thee my country”; which was a fitting beginning.
As this situation is ever changing the Council cannot keep up with the advice.
However, the following links will provide the most up to date information.
