Over 800
people attended the
Burghfield & District Royal
British Legion Parade on a
sunny but chilly Remembrance
Sunday this year at
Burghfield St Mary’s Church.
The
Royal British Legion, regular Army
and Royal Air Force were
represented, along with the Army and
RAF Cadets, Explorers, Scouts,
Guides, Brownies, Cubs and Beavers
and a Chinook helicopter from RAF
Odiham flew low over the churchyard
as the wreaths were laid.
Lt.
Col. Bruce Neeves, the Parade
Commander, reflected “This year we
remember the many who gave their
lives so we could live our lives in
peace and safety. It is 80 years
since the outbreak of the Second
World War. In Burghfield we
remembered those brave young men who
were killed in action during that
war, some are buried in the Church
of St Mary Virgin, including the son
of the then Rector of the church:
Flt Sgt Harry Nicholson RAFVR.
Burghfield showed its loyalty and
remembrance with a turnout of over
800 residents and 20 flag bearers.
Definitely not forgotten.”
During
the Commemoration Service those
members of the parish who gaves
their lives in WW2, were specially
remembered and their names read out
by members of the Air Cadet Force,
the Air Training Corp and the Girl
Guides.
The
service was taken by the Reverend
Glynn Lautenbach, Priest-in-Charge
of St Mary’s and Dr Anthony Peabody,
who is the Chaplain to the
Burghfield and District Branch of
the Royal British Legion, who
commented “How heartening it is to
see so many children from our local
organisations joining with the older
generation to remember the people
who fought for them to be able to
live in peace.
The
parade was organised by Lt. Col.
Bruce Neeves, Parade Commander, of
the Burghfield & District Branch of
the Royal British Legion.
