REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY 2007

 Whaddon joined the rest of Great Britain to remember the fallen of both World Wars and those who have died in armed combat since then, at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, 2007.

We are grateful to the platoon from Bassingbourn Barracks who helped us mark this significant event. Ted Webb read out the names of those killed from Whaddon in both wars. On the altar inside the church, beneath the names, the Army laid a wreath. Norah Foster added one on behalf of the village, and Rachel Burgess and Maddie Custerson placed a poppy posy on behalf of the Rainbows (the Guiding group for the youngest children) and all the young in Whaddon. A bugler sounded the last post before the two-minute silence. The whole service marked a moving commemoration and hope for future peace.
