Caistor remembrance

The parade gathering in the Market Place, led by David King. EMN-171211-183038001

David King led the parade from the market place to the parish church, where a moving service was led bu the Rev Canon Ian Robinson and the Rev Sarah Parkin.

Afterwards, the congregation made its way to the war memorial where the Act of Remembrance took place.

The names of the local dead from the 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 wars were read out to the hushed crowd, followed by the haunting sounds of the last post, played by Ray Wylie, echoing around.
