And In Boston MA on Sunday12th

 



"They shall grow not 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." In honor of Armistice Day, Old North Church's annual Remembrance Sunday service will be held on Sunday, November 12 at 11:00 a.m. We will be joined by the British and Commonwealth communities in Boston, including His Majesty's Consul General from the United Kingdom and the acting Consul General of Canada. We will hear the "In Flanders Field" poem at the start, following 2 minutes of silence at 11 a.m., followed by a piper playing "Flowers of the Forest." Both Consuls General will read and lay wreaths at the church's war memorial following the service. Wreaths will also be placed by the Royal Marine Attaché to the British Embassy in Washington and representatives from the Belgian Navy, the British Officers Club of New England, the British & Commonwealth Remembrance project, and The Soldiers Fund. All are welcome. Register here: https://rsvp.church/r/ThNRigfN
