Shortly before 11 AM on Sunday 9th November, the roadway next to Pensford War Memorial in Church Street closed to all traffic and filled with parish residents who assembled to show their respect and gratitude to those who served and died for our country.
The service of remembrance was led by the Rev. Canon Trevor Stubbs. At 11 am, the bugler, Mark Golding, sounded the Last Post and the Guides lowered their flags for two minutes silence. Charles Wookey read out the names of the fallen.
Wreaths were laid by Parish Council Chair Cllr Sue Grimes on behalf of all Publow with Pensford residents, by Andrew Hillman for Pensford, Publow and the Stanton’s Community Trust, and by Charles Wookey on behalf of the Armed Forces. A floral tribute and a tribute painted on a stone were also laid above and around the wreaths.
After the act of remembrance, many residents retired to the Old School Room for refreshments.
Our thanks go to PCSO Martyn Bragg for policing the Parade.
