‘Lights Out’ August 4th 2014

The Royal British Legion, Lambourn
August 4th 2014

Jon Stevens, Secretary of Lambourn Branch said:
We were originally unsure how many people to expect; we had advertised the event well in the Lambourn Valley Village Views magazine and on the Lambourn Community Facebook page as well as posters around the village, but even then we weren’t sure.  In the end the Main Hall of the Legion  was packed to the gunnels with people sitting at all the tables and standing around the Hall.  We estimate in excess of 250 people came for the 30-minute long commemoration, ranging from the very young to the very old and all ages in between.  Everyone seemed to enjoy the commemoration and the chance to reflect upon the events of 100 years ago.
