Armistice (2)

Armistice Day
A busy Armistice Day today.
First up, was a visit to the assembly at Compass School, our local secondary school.
The whole school were present, there were some great contributions from the students, an act of remembrance, and I had the chance to speak about Bermondsey in wartime and share the prayer that they prayed each night in the air raid shelter that was the churchj crypt 'defend us from all perils and dangers of this night.'
Next up was St James's School's armistice service in the church and this was followed by the main Bermondsey and Rotherhithe armistice day service at the War Memorial in West Lane, with a really good turnout from community organisations from across the borough.
