“A Time to Remember”
Saturday 1st November at 15.00 at St Peter’s Church Horningsea
If you have a family member or friend who you would like to remember, then come along to this quiet reflective service. There will be a chance to light a candle and put a flower in a vase in their memory. They may be someone who died in the last year or so, or who died many years ago who you remember with affection. It is always a very moving service.
Remembrance Day service in Horningsea
Sunday 9th November at 10.15 in St Peter’s Church – 10.45 at the War Memorial in the Jubilee Gardens
The annual service of Remembrance for those who fought and lost their lives in War will take place at usual in Horningsea. Representatives of all the Village societies will lay wreaths of poppies, the Last Post will be sounded on the trumpet, the names of the fallen from the village will be read and this year we will include James Farmer, the USAF pilot who died on Quy Fen 80 years ago. John Wilson has researched the stories of each of these men and this year he has asked that names should be read by younger people in the village. If you live in the house where they lived, if you are of the age of those who went to war, if your parents, grandparents or great grandparents took part in one of the World Wars, if your family came as refugees to escape the conflicts …would you be willing to read a name? If so please contact Lindsay on churchwardenhorningsea@gmail.com. Representatives of the various Societies in the village are asked to volunteer to lay the wreaths – Parish Council, HRA, Hall and Green trust, Friends of Horningsea Church, the Monday Hub, the PCC ….
The 80th Anniversary of VE and VJ Day reminds us of the hardships suffered by our parents, grandparents or great grandparents. It is also an opportunity to remember those who are still suffering from wars and conflicts all over the world in 2025 – and to give thanks for those who work for peaceful solutions to these conflicts.
