With the aid of a smart tv, a tablet, and the internet, the only difference between this year and any other year was that we did not gather in person, and no official list of those laying wreaths was read aloud. To replace this, Canon Petten did suggest that if people wanted to place their poppies at the cenotaph they were encourage to do so, or if they felt inclined to, to paint a rock with a poppy on it. This was well received and we thank those who did paint rocks and placed them at the cenotaph.
Although we could not gather in person, we remembered our glorious dead and with thankful hearts, and offered thanks for their sacrifices and for the sacrifices of those who returned home. We will remember them.
