Boston remembers those who fell, despite coronavirus restrictions

Mayor of Boston Coun Anton Dani, Boston British Legion Branch Chairman George Reid and Wing Commander Leanne Warner from RAF Coninsgby all attended and laid wreaths.

A short service was led by Rev Alyson Buxton, Team Rector for the Parish of Boston.

Across the district, many marked the moment in different ways, with some standing on the doorstep for the two minutes silence.

Plans for the usual Remembrance Sunday parade had to be cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, but Boston found its own way to pay tribute to those who gave so much for their country.

Many took the time to make private visits to the war memorial to lay their own wreaths as individuals or in family groups on Sunday.

Mr Reid said he attended the Cenotaph as a private individual on Sunday to pay his respects, and others had done the same.

He said it was more important than ever that people remembered those who had paid the ultimate sacrifice.

“A walk around the Crematorium will open many people’s eyes to the sacrifices made by the men and women of Boston since the ending of WWII.

“All we need to do is spend two minutes in silence on the 11th at 11am and remember them.”
