Well remembered
As usual a vast crowd attended the Remembrance Day ceremony on Sunday 9th at the Buntingford War Memorial. This year's service was more poignant with the exhibition in the Manor House.
There were a significant number at the "impromptu" service at 11am on the 11th. This tradition has taken place for many years and provides resident with another opportunity to pay their respects.
