Remembrance Day 2019

After the excessively wet weather during the previous days leading up to Remembrance Day Service, we were very lucky to have a cold but sunny morning for our annual gathering.
It was good to see so many parishioners gather to pay respects.  The laying of the wreaths was  followed by a service in the Church.
Lambourn’s new vicar, the Rev Julie Mintern, presided over her first Remembrance Service in the village and was accompanied by The Ven Christine Allsopp and the new Catholic priest, Father David O’ Sullivan
The Kohima Epitaph was given by Lambourn Royal British Legion branch president Margaret Leahy and The Exhortation by David Barber, ex-Army 9^th/12^th Lancers.
Standards were carried by John North, RBL and Victoria Moxon for the Lambourn RBL Women’s  Section also standards for Guides and Brownies.
Last Post and reveille given by Gareth Coulson, Wantage Silver Band.
