This coming Sunday 10th November is Remembrance Sunday, when the Nation will hold many ceremonies to remember the service and sacrifice of all those that have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.
In Pyrford, wreath laying will be held at the War Memorial on Remembrance Sunday starting at 11:30 am followed by a church service.
The next day November 11th is Armistice Day to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne , France, at 5:45 am for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at 11:00am – the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” of 1918.
