Sherborne In Bloom!

Today was Remembrance Day, in Sherborne as well as in the rest of the country.

Wreaths were laid at the war memorial outside the Abbey.

People of all ages stopped to pay their respects to those who paid the ultimate price.

The Field of Remembrance contained crosses commemorating those who have died in the wars of the previous and present century.

And these crosses were placed in honour of the young soldiers who lived in our area and died in the conflict in Afghanistan.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

Laurence Binyon (1869-1943)
