Remembrance in Yate

Hopefully by now you have all purchased a poppy and

are wearing them with pride. This Thursday shall be the 11th of the

11th and we shall take two minutes to remember soldiers who have

fought and those that lost their lives in battle.

Remembrance Sunday falls on the

second Sunday in November, and this is the day traditionally put

aside to remember all those who have given their lives to fight for our

country. On this day people across the nation pause to reflect on the

sacrifices made by our soldiers.  

For those that wish to honour the fallen on Remembrance

Sunday on the 14th of November, St Mary’s Church in Yate will be

holding a remembrance service at 9.15am.

Members

of the British Legion and Yate Town Council are coming together to remember

those who have fallen in battle.

You are

invited to meet outside Poole Court at 9.15am in order to parade along Poole

Court Drive, Home Orchard and onto Station Road. It is anticipated that the

parade will begin at 9.30am in order to allow sufficient time to assemble

outside of the Church and join the rest of the congregation at the commencement

of the service. Wreaths will be laid at the Church Lych Gate and the Parnall

grave at 11.00am.

Don’t forget your two-minute

silence on the 11th of November at 11am and wear your poppy with

pride.
