Remembrance Day 2020 ~ Bridgewater

This morning, I attended the Remembrance Service in Bridgewater. I reckon out of the dozens of such events like this I have been to over the years in Scotland, Spain (done by the British Consulate in Bilbao, Vizcaya) and Canada, this was the warmest, in beautiful sunshine the temperature must have been 20°C or above.

This year the ceremony was very much scaled down due to the on-going Covid-19 situation, but that did not take anything away from the observance to the courage and sacrifice of those who served their country.

I recall last year in my blog about ...

... I said “…. the best Remembrance Service I have ever attended.” Once again, for a town of its size (Pop. 8500), this year’s ceremony was well organised and very impressive ~ Well done to all those involved.
