Remembrance Day 2013: Service at Richmond's war memorial

Nov 10, 2013, 11:23 AM

It's Remembrance Day and I'm sitting on a wall listening to the bands moving away and the crowds dispersing following the eleven o'clock service at the war memorial. In previous years I've been to the Whitehall service, and you can find a recording elsewhere on Audioboo, but today I simply walked five minutes down the road and joined other local people, as well as our MP, Zac Goldsmith at the memorial, situated just above the Thames in the center of Richmond. This recording is of virtually the whole service, from the two minute silence, prayers, wreath laying and hymns. Don't expect anything fancy, especially from the singing, but this is nevertheless a fitting commemoration of the day. #remembrance #remember #war #memorial #Richmond #Surrey #LastPost #London #silence #fb
