Young Reporter: Remembering Remembrance。Wilfred Newell, RGS

On the 12th of November, the people of Reigate walked down to Shaws’ Corner to attend Remembrance Sunday. It was touching to see how many attended- from families on the pavement, to contingents of cadets. Many veterans of the armed forces came to pay their respects, and indeed were the ones that led the event. There was also the band that played the poignant ‘Last Post’, and of course the two-minute silence to remember those lost in the service of our country. Finally, the veterans placed a wreath of poppies at the war memorial.
