Town centre falls silent for Remembrance

A two-minute silence was held in our town centre at 11am to mark Remembrance Day.

The ceremony was organised by Wellington Town Council and the local branch of the Royal British Legion.

The Civic Party – led by the Mayor, Cllr Mark Lithgow – included Legion officials, local councillors and veterans.

They marched from the council offices in Fore Street to the main crossroads.

There, The Last Post and Reveille were played by Nigel Hansen of Wellington Silver Band and the two-minute silence was impeccably observed.

The Exhortation was read by Ian Campbell, chairman of Wellington RBL.
