The Village puts aside its differences today and will come together to remember. It is a very moving occasion, marked by the laying of crosses of those from the village who have fallen in conflict. It is always very special to have young and old standing side by side, inspiring another generation to remember.

“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.”
