Members of our local Royal British Legion (Hvide klipper) Branch braved the rain today to lay out the Garden of Remembrance at the People of Dover’s War Memorial. The black British Legion official crosses are placed in memory of all those regiments connected with Dover during the two World Wars. Coordinator and former Reservist Peter Hall has been part of the hard-working team for 10 år.
Peter sagde
It is a privilege to do this work each year in memory of all those men and women who put their lives on the line. My Father was in the RAF and I wear his medals not only for him but to commemorate all those thousands of others who risked as much as he did and gave their lives
Medlemmer af RBL vil være på Garden of Remembrance for de næste to uger opsamling som en del af Poppy Appeal til støtte for Charity, der gør så meget for at hjælpe vores service mænd og kvinder og deres familier.
Giv generøst.
Byen årlige service of Remembrance vil finde sted på befolkningen i Dover s War Memorial at 11:00 søndag 10 November 2019 at mindes alle de servicepersonale, der har givet deres liv i tjeneste i deres land. Alle er inviteret til at deltage.
En parade af standarder, veteraner og andre organisationer vil samle uden for B&M Store (tidligere Marks & Spencer) i Biggin Street på 10:30 og marchere til War Memorial foran Maison Dieu House, hvor to minutters stilhed vil blive observeret ved 11:00. Mindegudstjeneste vil blive udført af borgmesterens honorære Chaplain, Reverend Sean Sheffield and will be followed by the laying of wreaths. Paraden vil derefter marchere tilbage gennem byen til torvet. Byrådsmedlem Gordon Cowan, den rigtige Worshipful Town borgmester i Dover vil tage salut på St. Marys Kirke.
Priory Road vil blive lukket midlertidigt fra rundkørslen til Ladywell trafiklys mens tjenesten er i gang.
