They shall not grow old....

Great to receive positive comments regarding Steve Tilley's service for Remembrance Sunday in the brand-new issue of CL.

Steve mentions a clergy colleague who wanted to introduce change to this 'longstanding ceremonial occasion'.

He began by chatting to members of his local branch of the Royal British Legion, thereby gaining valuable perspective on what they viewed as key elements of Remebrance Sunday service..

Steve's friend emerged from the Legion with a list of 'essential' (in the opinion of those he'd been chatting to) items:
  • some particular hymns
  • well observed two-minute silence
  • dignified wreath-placing
  • good bugler to sound last post and reveille.
So, what would you, recommend as must-include items for Remembrance Sunday?

Hymns, songs, activities?

Over to you!

The editor will be away on holiday 9-13 June.
