Not forgotten

First Sarisbury Scouts, Cubs, Beavers and Squirrels ranging from four years to fourteen marched in parade to attend St Paul's church Remembrance Service on Sarisbury Green on Sunday

The service conducted by the Reverend Dave Crees had an additional dimension of reality relating his own service in Afghanistan and the loss of an infantryman he knew personally. 

The service was really well attended with local families and speaking to a few people the feelings were very much about the importance of keeping this memory and tradition alive and to continue the honour and memory of those fallen in defense of our nation. 

No less so the the local crocheters, who had decorated the postbox and church entrance with their wonderful works 

 There seems to be a very welcome revival in remembrance across the country, Durham lit up it's famous cathedral in red, which would be a great idea for St Paul's standing as it does on on the corner of the main A27 and the village green. St Paul's facebook has many more photos which are worth a visit.

We will be at the war memorial again at 11.00  today.

From the memorial in nearby Victoria Country Park

Write on this stone,

No words of sadness,

Only the gladness due.

That we who asked the most of living

Know how to give it too
