On Remembrance Sunday we remember the sacrifice of those who defended our freedoms and protected our way of life, through two world wars and beyond. In particular, we remember the armed forces and their families, as well as the emergency services and those who have lost their lives as a result of conflict or terrorism.
But we will also remember those parts of the world which are being devastated by war even now, particularly Ukraine and Israel/Palestine. Here life is being torn apart and people on all sides are losing those that they love.
The service will take place at Parque La Viña, Mollina and we will be joined by representatives of Royal British Legion branches in RioFrio and Loja, as well as Mollina. Together our task will be to remember all who have served and sacrificed, particularly British and Commonwealth soldiers, sailors, airmen and women.
We will commemorate the signing of the Armistice which brought an end to the First World War, a moment which is marked in the UK by a 2-minute silence, at 11am Greenwich Mean Time. We will join in this silence at the same time, namely 12 noon Central European Time.
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them”.
(from ‘For the Fallen’ by Laurence Binyon)
