About Veterans' remembrance day
‘Your battle wounds are 'SCARS UPON MY HEART'
This special event offers a musical programme with a difference, to commemorate the millions of lives lost, in conflict, throughout the world, in the 20th century to present day. This is for the people within our community to come together to sing and pray for the loss of loved ones.
‘You’ll never walk alone’
Through song, we can remove the isolation often felt, even for a short period. We still experience joyful moments, even in the darkest times. This is a fitting day to hold each other dear.
