Today we marked Remembrance Sunday by attending our local church, All Saints, for a special service led by Reverend Nicky to honour veterans and members of the armed services who lost their lives in the line of duty.

We then attended the wreath laying ceremony where Jane Miles, Chair of Wouldham Parish Council, Gwen Worcester (Chair of the WI) and members of the Rainbows, Brownies and Guides laid beautiful wreaths in honour of those local villagers who gave their lives for their country.

Our communities have also been watching the events at the Cenotaph in London on the television in their lounges.
