REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY |
|
8th November 2015 |
|
| I awoke to a dreary windy and wet day and I was not looking forward to a wet and windy wreath laying, but as the morning progressed the rain ceased but the wind continued to blow and I breathed a sigh of relief. | |
 |
 |
| I arrived at my local War Memorial in Mill lane Upton-by-Chester in plenty of time and saw the small parade of Scouts guides and other organisations arrive. We all stood in silence at 11am and a local bugler played the last post after which the local dignitaries laid the wreaths of the various organisations, to those that had made the ultimate sacrifice. | |

It was with pride as I placed the wreath from the Mark Masons of West Lancashire with them. We had a short service at the memorial after we all departed in procession and retired to the Local British Legion club for light refreshments. Another moving and thought provoking day. |
