Remembrance Sunday service held at Hadley War Memorial
Former and serving members of the armed forces joined residents and officials to remember the fallen at a service in Hadley
A well-attended Remembrance Sunday service took place at Hadley War Memorial, led by the parish priest of Holy Trinity Church, Hadley, Father Stuart Howes, and assistant curate Father Alex Cama.
The service was held at the memorial in Manse Road, with members of the public, local officials and serving and former members of the armed forces gathering to remember those who had died in conflict.
Father Stuart said: “It was a very well-attended service with both officials and members of the public and it was especially gratifying to see so many former and current servicemen and servicewomen resplendent in their uniforms gathering together to remember their fallen comrades.”
He added: “It was also good to see official representation from Ministry of Defence bases in the area, including RAF Shawbury and Donnington, plus members of the TA, the Royal British Legion and others.
“We were pleased that some members of the public attending the ceremony were able to accept our invitation to attend our Morning Mass, where they heard a most thought-provoking and enjoyable sermon by the Reverend Heather Page on the subject of Jesus and Zacchaeus the chief tax collector.”
