Dear Northallerton Friends REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL - SUNDAY 9 NOVEMBER LETS REMEMBER - For Your Tomorrow - We Gave Our Today RTBC No29 of 100 ( limited edition ) - Remembrance Sunday has and no doubt always will be a special day in the Northallerton calender - today was no exception. A sizeable crowd of local residents lined both sides of the High St between Friarage St roundabout and All Saints Church - to join in the two minutes silence at 11-00am + Remembrance Service led by C of E Vicar Fiona Mayer-Jones together with Ministers from other town Churches. The armed forces personnel from RAF Leeming + Catterick Garrison join with the townsfolk in a united fellowship to remember the fallen of The Two World Wars and Other conflicts since inc Iraq and Afghanistan. Added poignancy to this years Remembrance - 100 years since the start of WW1 recognised at the service + a local ladies organisation has recently added to the towns recognition of the point in time by surrounding the Market Cross in the High St with a knitted / stitched poppy and named badge for each of the local ( Northallerton / Romanby / Brompton ) young men who gave the ultimate sacrifice during WW1. All involved with making the day a Special Remembrance Day take a bow - Northallerton salutes the local fallen heroes of all wars - Lest we Forget ! They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them Ode of Remembrance - Laurence Binyon - 1914
