At 11am on Thursday 11th November, I attended the Armistice Day service around the war memorial cross just outside Grove Academy's main entrance on Claypotts Road.Of particular significance this year was the re-siting of the two metal memorial plaques listing the Grove pupils who had died in the First and Second world wars.
The picture shows the wreaths of poppies laid at the memorial cross, just after the service of remembrance had been concluded. The two additional plaques have been installed on plinths which have been set into the bank down Grove's pedestrian access path running from the main entrance of the school down to Claypotts Road.
Earlier today, I attended the Remembrance Sunday service at St Mary's Episcopal Church in Broughty Ferry.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
For The Fallen Laurence Binyon (1869-1943)
