There was a wonderful turnout for our town’s Remembrance Sunday Parade and Service.
The parade was headed by Wellington School CCF Corps of Drums and included civic dignitaries, representatives of various organisations and youth groups.
It made its way from the school through streets lined with people and to the park where the poignant service was led by the Rev Sam Griffiths, Minister of Wellington Baptist Church and Chaplain of Wellington Royal British Legion.
The Kohima Epitaph was read by Ian Campbell, Wellington RBL chairman, and during the wreath laying, the names of the fallen were read from our town’s Book of Remembrance by Mike Webb, RBL committee member.
An address was given by Rev Griffiths, and the prayers were led by the Rev Sarah Rowden.
Wellington Silver Band played throughout the service and Benjie of Wellington School Corps of Drums played The Last Post and Reveille.
At the close of the service, Mr Campbell thanked everyone for attending.
Attention switches to the town centre on Wednesday when the two-minute silence to mark Armistice Day takes places at 11am.
A second two-minute silence will follow at Court Fields School at noon.
