Ruth marks Remembrance Sunday
Ruth marked the run up to Remembrance Day by planting a tribute in Parliament's Garden of Remembrance on behalf of Brentford and Isleworth.
Speaking afterwards Ruth said,
''Today I laid my wreath at the service at Brentford library, while my other wreaths were laid on my behalf by local people at the Isleworth, Whitton, Hounslow and Heston services. There was a great turnout at Brentford, including Isleworth & Syon school students wearing sashes with the names of I&S students who died in service, with one young man wearing his uncle’s medals from WW2.
Those whose names are on the Brentford memorials were printed, with more details about their lives and service, and handed round so we could pin them on the library’s bushes and then everyone can read them.
Many thanks to Sylvia Nelson, the team from St Paul’s church and all the other people for organising today’s service in Brentford, and to all those across the country who make Remembrance services such special events.
"They shall not grow old, as we who are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We shall remember them." - Laurence Binyon''
