BRITISH LEGION ORGANISE A

MOVING REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY

Mike Howes of the British Legion writes: On the 8th November St Marys Church was filled to bursting as ever, with British Legion representatives, the ATC The Army Cadets, Scouts, Guides, Brownies and local councillors and other organisation representatives along with pleasing support from the general public.  What was also very evident was the increased numbers of people who watched the "march past" and the parade,  lining Horsefair and Top side.

Clare Watts; Commanding Officer Chipping Norton Army Cadet Force and Major Pete Broome, Area Commander in the Oxfordshire Army Cadet Force Flight Lt. Richard Hogan, Officer Commanding 136 Squadron Air Training Corps

On the 11th November at 11am a small crowd gathered at the war memorial in London Road for a short Armistice Day service  and the laying of wreaths by the Mayor and representatives of the British Legion.  Below the Hon. Sec. of the Womens Branch Betty Hicks is laying her wreath. Legionnaire Flagbearer Holland (right) looks on (he complained to me only today that his picture had never appeared on chippingnorton.net....so there you go Mr Holland. Fame at last!!)

Many thanks to Ian Barrett and Mike Howes for the excellent pictures

LEST WE FORGET
