Dignitaries and Organisations Lay Wreaths at Oakham's War Memorial, Videos, 2024
On Remembrance Sunday, following a county service held at All Saints Church in Oakham, Rutland, a procession of dignitaries and representatives from local organisations made their way to the town's War Memorial. There, they laid wreaths to honour the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country.
The sombre ceremony was a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who lost their lives in conflicts past and present. The wreaths, adorned with poppies, symbolised the enduring respect and gratitude owed to the fallen heroes.
Among those present were Dr Sarah Furness The Lord Lieutenant of Rutland, The High Sheriff of Rutland and organisations, e.g., local councillors, military personnel, representatives from veterans' groups, and community organizations. Each group approached the memorial with reverence, laying their wreaths carefully at the foot of the monument.
The wreath-laying ceremony at Oakham's War Memorial was a solemn and meaningful event, a fitting tribute to the sacrifices made by generations of brave men and women.
