Erindring søndag service og Parade

Dover War Memorial

Søndag 14 November 2021

 

Ved 11:00 på Remembrance søndag Dover mænd, women and children gathered at the People of Dover’s War Memorial to honour the memory of all the service men and women who gave their lives in armed conflicts past and present. Over 60 wreaths were laid during the service, covering the memorial in red poppies, as a token of the Town’s thanks for the sacrifices made to secure our peace and freedom.

 

 

The Town Mayor of Dover Councillor Gordon Cowan lays a wreath.

Paraden af ​​standarder, veteraner og andre organisationer marcherede til War Memorial foran Maison Dieu House, hvor to minutters stilhed blev observeret med civile ledere. The wreath laying was led by the Deputy Lieutenant of Kent, Col. Brian O’Gorman (FTU), on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, efterfulgt af Town borgmester i Dover, Byrådsmedlem Gordon Cowan, the leader of Dover District Council, Cllr Trevor Bartlett, the MP for Dover and Deal Mrs Natalie Elphicke and on behalf of the Government of Flanders. Wreaths were then laid by representatives of the uniformed services and veterans associations. Everyone was welcome to pay their tribute including local organisations and the families of the fallen.

Vores tak går til alle dem, der deltog i vores gudstjeneste for at mindes de faldne, inklusive White Cliffs Branch of the Royal British Legion, som satte ud af Garden of Remembrance og indsamlede til Poppy Appeal i al slags vejr i løbet af de sidste to uger. We are also grateful to Commander Nick Chatwin RN (FTU) for reading the Exhortation and the Kohima Epitaph, Parademarskal hr. Alan Tinker fra Dover og Deal Sea Cadets, Mr John Harknett of the Royal Green Jackets Association for playing the last post, Betteshanger Colliery Welfare Band for leading the music, bannerbærere, and also the young people of our Cadet forces who attended and acted as sentries during the service.

Mindehøjtideligheden blev forestået af pastor Catherine Tucker Team rektor for Dover Town Team Ministerium og Flt. Lt. Malcom Sawyer, RAFVR (FTU), Feltpræst til Royal British Legion (Dover). In her address Rev. Tucker spoke of the need to remember in such as way as to keep the stories of those who we commemorate alive and continue their work to bring peace.

The service finished with the singing of the National Anthem

The Parade derefter marcherede tilbage gennem byen til torvet, hvor borgmesteren tog salut på St. Marys Kirke.
