“Lyn Jamieson’s Remembrance Day services are always deeply heartfelt and moving – this year’s service will be particularly poignant as it marks the centenary of a number of significant anniversaries of the First World War including the Battle of the Somme. We’re honoured to host a service and pay tribute to all the civilian and armed forces personnel who have lost their lives serving our country in conflicts past and present.”
