Remembrance Sunday Tours

The Friends will be holding Remembrance Sunday Tours in the Cemetery again this year.

The FNRC are organising Remembrance Sunday Tours at the cemetery on November 13th beginning at 2:00 PM. These will visit the 19 Commonwealth War Graves in the Cemetery and provide a commentary on the lives of these servicemen and especially their careers in the Armed Services. Come and hear the real and often moving stories of bravery, heroism and sometimes tragedy that distinguished them and led to their ultimate sacrifice in two World Wars.

Admission is free but there will be British Legion Poppy Appeal collection boxes on the site for those who wish to make a donation.
