AN ACT OF REMEMBRANCE
SUNDAY 11TH NOVEMBER 2012 AT 11 AM
AT DEBACH AIRFIELD MEMORIAL
The Remembrance Day Service at the War Memorial, Debach Airfield, has seen more and more local residents arrive to pay their respects to those who lost their lives in WWII.
Numbers have grown from a few to this year, on a beautiful but chilly morning, when nearly sixty people turned up and were welcomed by our Lay Preacher, James Hall.
The service commenced with the Last Post and then the reading of “They shall not grow old” by Councillor Chris Angwin. A two minute silence and The Reveille was followed by the reading of “The Kohima” by Councillor Chris Angwin.
After Prayers; wreaths were laid by Richard Taylor, Debach Airfield Museum and Roy Compton, Clopton Parish Council.
A reading from the Bible by Doris Main, a short prayer and the Act Of Commitment with the service being closed with the National Anthem.
All assembled were then invited to retire to the Service Centre near to the Control Tower where refreshments were kindly provided by Adrian and Julie Yallop.
This service provides an excellent opportunity for old friends to meet and chat and to thank those who gave their lives enabling us to meet in freedom.
We look forward to seeing you all there next year.
