Remembrance Sunday - Give a little more for your Poppy, Please

A London bus bombed out during the Blitz..

Many of our ex-servicemen observed their own private two minutes silence at the eleventh hour on the eleventh day, some now too frail to stand out in the cold; but they still silently  said a prayer remembering their friends during the two minute silence. Some soldiers were only aged 17, who fell in the Great War and another generation followed in the Second World War.

Since that time, there have been more than 1,000 wars (since 1945) of all kinds, some justified, many not.  On Sunday, a Service of Remembrance will take place at the existing War Memorial within the Peterborough Cathedral precincts from 10:45am.

If you can attend then please do so, but if not, simply remember those who have protected our country and through injury or loss now need your financial support, we suggest even in these troubled times, contribute a little more for your Poppy.

In fact, if you see a collector, just put whatever you can afford in that tin, as an additional thank you for all that our servicemen and servicewomen do. We shall remember them.
Thank you
