We do too it's a really special service as both our families served in the war and lucky enough to survive it, Heather's Grandad was one of the lucky one's to make it out of Dunkirk having spent too much time in the water waiting.
My late Father was a Spitfire pilot and Heather's Dad was Senior gunnery instructor so it's very much in the blood, quite a lot of my work was in parallel to the forces and I liked and respected the way they do things and we owe them everything past, present and future.
Two of our Grand daughters will be wreath bearers on Sunday one with the ATC the other with the Brownies albeit 80 miles apart and 250 miles from us.
The local village primary school always sends representatives and most of the school write messages on the wooden crosses that line the Church pathway during this week, it's so encouraging for the future that the school flags this most important of events.
And a muffled peal of Bells completes the thoughtful atmosphere as the congregation make their way to church in thoughtful mood.
