Colehill remembers
The Remembrance service in Colehill returned to its normal format this year following the cancellation of the event last year.
Around 300 members of the community in Colehill gathered for the 2021 Remembrance Day parade and service at Colehill War Memorial, including representatives from the Parish Council, Army, Royal Air Force, Police, Fire Brigade, Scouts and Guides who all laid wreaths.
The chairman of the Parish Council, Cllr Emma Urquhart, read out the names of all the local residents that fell in the two World Wars. Her husband, retired military bandsman Andy Urquhart, played the Last Post followed by the two minutes silence.
A spokesman from the parish council said: “This year’s event had added meaning, as it returned to its normal format following the need to cancel the parade in 2020 due to the pandemic.”
