Remembrance Service, Sunday 13th November 2022
The Service held on 13 November was well attended by military and non-military members of the congregation, about 100 in all. Adam Scott conducted the Service for us with his customary and popular blend of the formal and informal. All 3 of the military units at Woolwich; the King's Troop, the Royal Artillery and the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment were in attendance and laid wreaths. Representatives of the Boys Brigade acted as our buglers with a rendering of the Reveille and Last Post Readings were given by Captain Povey of the Royal Artillery and Jeremy James Director of the local Tramshed Theatre and one of our trustees.
As usual we recalled one name from the VC Memorial and one from the local memorial; with a tribute to their lives and courage. This year we featured Lee Rigby from the local memorial and it was particularly gratifying to have with us members of Lee’s family, who laid a wreath in his memory. Familiar hymns like O God our Help in Ages Past, Amazing Grace and Fight the Good Fight added to the atmosphere. The 2 minutes silence was observed and the collects for the Royal Artillery and the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment were read.
