THE 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month is the time we set aside to re­ member all those who have fought and died for us to defend our freedom and democracy. In order to mark this very important time of Remem­ brance, Campoverde Church in the Community held two events for the people of Campoverde to come together as a com­ munity to remember and give thanks for these sacri­ fices. On Saturday November 12 a concert was held in Campoverde Church, enti­ tled ‘O Soldier. Soldier’. Mike and Pip Shail put to­ gether a programme of readings and songs about the sacrifices made by all those who fought and for their loved ones who suf­ fered the grief of loss. Around 20 people came to the church to share in this very moving tribute. The donations made at the end of the concert will all be do­ nated to the Royal British Legion. On Sunday November 13, at 6pm Campoverdians came together in the Church Garden to remem­ ber and give thanks.

GIVING THANKS

Mike and Pip Shail.

We started with an intro­ duction by James McAllis­ ter who reminded us that we were there to remem­ ber real people ­ sons, brothers, fathers, uncles ­ who were prepared to fight and die to preserve the freedom and democracy

that were under imminent threat of being taken away. This fight involved unimag­ inable pain, suffering and often certain death, but these brave people were prepared to suffer all that so that their families, their country and us today could be free. The Act of Remembrance included the playing of the Last Post and the Reveille and the laying of the wreath under the cross in the Church Garden. One of the younger members of the community, Josh Sharp, recited the Exhortation and Mike Shail, ex­services, re­ cited the Kohima Epitaph. Some of those present wrote the names of their loved ones on special little crosses and placed them under the cross. Everyone present felt they had re­ membered and honoured all those who had given their lives for us in the best way they could.
