Remembrance Sunday 2004


2nd Bracknell

 

 
 

This year's Remembrance Sunday parade was held on Sunday 14 November. We attended as a group along with our friends from the other Bracknell groups.

We met at the Bus Station at 9.45am, from where we walked to the war memorial (near Princess Square) for the wreath laying ceremony (which started at 10.15am). We then marched through the town centre and along the ring road to Holy Trinity Church. The service started at 10.50am and will last for about an hour.

After the service we marched back to the war memorial where the parade was dismissed at around 12 noon. The groups were invited to have some soft refreshments in one of the upstairs rooms of the British Legion.


We had this message from Revd Mark Ackford at Holy Trinity

"Thank you for the wonderful turn out for the Remembrance Parade, I know that it meant a great deal to the members of the British Legion that so many young people were willing to come along to the parade and service and remember those who have died for our freedom. Can you also thank the Scouts who read the prayers so well, it was lovely to have both old and young generations involved in the service."


Thanks to Pat Donnelly we have some pictures of the event

Waiting

The only trouble with Remembrance Sunday is that there is a lot of waiting about

Bagpipes

The ceremony is always lead by the pipers

Ready to start

Everybody is in place ready for the wreath laying service to begin

Quick march

We are on the approach to Holy Trinity. The ambulance at the rear is part of our parade. Thomas has had to stop (again) to do up his shoe

More waiting

You'd think that a nice march would warm you up but standing around outside the church was a bit chilly despite the bright sunshine
