Today I attended two fantastic remembrance services at St John the Baptist in Egglescliffe and in Hartburn at the Tommy Statue.
Both services were led amazingly by Reverend Sinclair of St John the Baptist and Reverend Neville of Holy Trinity with St Mark.
Remembrance Sunday provides us with the opportunity to reflect on the bravery of those who have fought to protect us in conflicts in the past and present.
Throughout each service, one common theme was found - we must be brave in our actions to find peace within our world.
I would like to say a huge thank you to the church communities who have supported these events and allowed us to share our thanks for the armed forces and their families.
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.
