I was an honour to take part, yet again, in Faringdon's Remembrance Parade and Service. In recent years it has always been encouraging to see the large numbers of young children from organisations such as the Brownies, Guides, Cubs and Scouts, and older children from the Army Cadet Force - this year was no exception. The Corn Exchange was full by twenty-past nine ready for the off.The sermon during the service in All Saints' was, as ever, aimed perfectly at the mixed audience present. Rev'd Charles Draper managed to include some light humour, interest the children, and still lose none of the necessary sobriety.Afterwards, at the war memorial attached to the Old Town Hall, it was an honour to lay a wreath on behalf of Ed Vaizey, my fellow councillor Roger Cox, taking on the role on behalf of the Vale of White Horse District Council. As ever, I find it a moving event which really does bring the act of remembrance to life, and unites our small town in a way that very few events do.
