REMEMBERING THE RECENT
FALLEN
|
|
|
|
 On
Remembrance Sunday, 2006, members of the Tean Branch of
the Royal British Legion were joined by uniformed youth
groups and the public at the War Memorial in the Church
Yard, where the homage and silence were observed. They
then moved into the Parish church for a service of
Remembrance led by the Branch and County Chaplain, and
addressed by the Parish Reader, Mr. Keith Perrin.
Mr. Perrin had set up in the Church a new memorial –
which carries (in a frame) the names of all those
members of Her Majesty’s armed forces killed in the
present conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Over a
hundred and fifty names appeared on the roll, and new
names will be added if and when necessary. Thanksgiving
was made for those who had paid the supreme sacrifice,
and prayer was said for those still serving in these war
zones.
