At St Leonard’s Church in Little Downham this morning for the Remembrance Sunday service, to read from one of the scriptures at the invitation of the minister Natalie Andrews.

A well-attended event, with the Brownies playing an active part in one of the readings and the children carrying battery-lit tea-lights to place on the altar.

Always sobering to stand in the church yard, with the Last Post sounded, standards dipped, the names of those to be remembered read out, and two minutes of silence to contemplate those who have lost their lives in conflict.
