Who'll be taking the silverware home on Saturday? A throwback to our 2017 Flower Show.

Some beautiful craft work on display at last year’s Flower show (along with the cups they were hoping to win) - there are some amazingly talented people living in our villages!

It might be weather that only a duck could love out there but pop along to West Hoathly Village Hall to our annual Flower Show to see some fabulous creations and truly impressive veg. Bev’s just put the kettle on… #BankHolidayWeekend

I was struck by the sight of this beautiful painting of Noor Inayat Khan in the RAF Club in Piccadilly, London. Unveiled by Her Majesty The Queen in 2023.

Crosses were planted by both church war memorials today as we prepare for Remembrance Sunday. West Hoathly’s memorial has a named cross for every man and woman from our parishes known to have been lost in war since 1914. #PoppyAppeal2024

This #RemembranceSunday, we remember all those who fought for the liberation of our Islands, and those who died in the World Wars waged against tyranny. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.

I was alone this morning at the British Cemetery in Kabul, to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan. Two of my lads are remembered here, Ben Reddy & Richie Watson. And now we all know their loss was for nothing. But we remember them. #RemembranceDay

Thank you to everyone who attended, paraded or supported this morning’s Remembrance Sunday service. The wreaths will stay in front of the altar overnight before being moved to the war memorial opposite The Cat tomorrow. We will remember them.
