Remembrance Sunday

A flat slab of grey sky made for dull light.

I took a stroll out at 10.30 as the cloud lighten in patches.

I walked a circuitous route to the Old Graveyard. As I entered I noticed this Union Jack lead a small procession of children and adults from the Methodist Church through the Old graveyard, who then joined representatives of local Scouts and Brownies, with their flags, near the War memorial. A small crowd gathered (see extra). The bus stayed stopped at the stop on Harrogate Road for the duration of the remembrance. I observed the time too, and noted after that I was able to stand upright, still and pain-free for the full 2 minutes, it felt good. Must be the swimming! 

Afterwards people were invited back to the Church hall for tea and biscuit. We slowly dispersed.
