and live on Freeview channel 276
As well as marking Remembrance Day by wearing poppies and watching the televised service from The Cenotaph, residents took part in therapeutic activities such as making poppy displays, listening to old wartime songs, reading war poems and creating poppy window art. Also they had entertainer Johnny Jalland, who sang patriotic songs which residents loved to sing along to.
Pauline Bosworth, a resident at Hall Park, said: “It is very important that we keep the memories of those who fought alive, and that we also think about those involved in conflicts around the world today.”
