A Salvation Army silver band played a selection of music, and the two minutes silence was accompanied by the wind blowing the rain through the trees - an appropriately bleak late autumn vista through the panoramic glass windows as each person present took the time to give silent thanks and say individual prayers for those who have given their lives in conflict.
The service was completed with a prayer of dedication at memorial post placed under an ash tree close to our peace pole - for all those present it was a sobering interlude in our sheltered and safe lives, gained through the sacrifice of so many in the past.
