Remembrance Sunday

Along with parish councillors, beavers, cubs, scouts and brownies, I joined residents at the parish church remembrance service this morning in Grove. There seemed to be a record turnout as no seat was left unfilled! Professor Gary Sheffield, local historian, told us a story of a brother and sister from London who were evacuated to Grove during the war. Of course, during this time of reflection, we also pay tribute to those who are currently in Afghanistan and in particular, those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
