Remembrance Sunday 11th November 2018
This year, on the 100th Anniversary of the 1918 Armistice, Remembrance Sunday falls on Armistice Day 11th November. There will be opportunities at the peninsula churches and war memorials to remember the cost of war including local lives lost in service to the country. We remember and we continue to work towards peaceful times for our world and its communities. At www.brunopeek.co.uk are details of a nationwide call to mark this centenary – including “Ringing out for peace”. www.armisticebells.com has details of a piece of music from the Scottish Chamber Orchestra to mark the centenary – which will feature bells from around the country – including the Strontian Church bell.
