Remembrance Day
|
Reverend Alison Newman led a short ceremony around the flagpole outside the Chapel on Remembrance Day at 11am. About 60 adults attended including local Councillors, and many youngsters on a school visit stood outside and heeded the 2 minute silence. The Chapel Bell tolled and the ceremony began .
The Royal Air Force Ensign was lowered to half mast for silent remembering. How fortunate it was that the weather was perfect and the sun was shining.

A short wreath laying ceremony was allowed, led by Archdeacon Paul Wright. The weather was perfect and some people gathered outside the railings to watch. The silence was observed on time at 11 o'clock and Bugler Nigel Garrard gave faultless renderings of the Last Post and Reveille.
Passing traffic was relentless and noisy. Remembrance Sunday on the road was just like any busy week work day in a previous year.
BBC News Southeast recorded interviews and showed some of the ceremony. Two videos are available to see, taken by a guest.

St George's Clock
The clock was set manually to 11 o'clock which was a brilliant idea for Remembrance Day!
The clock stopped at seven mins past six and has not worked since the Chapel closed in September 2017.
It will be repaired at the end of the current restrictions. The replacement movement which The Friends are paying for, through the Trust will keep the correct time despite any power cut.
As to whether the clock face will ever be repainted remains to be seen.
