Remembrance Sunday in Norden

Date published: 11 November 2018

Hundreds of people gathered to pay their respects at Norden’s war memorial on Sunday (11 November).

Parades from individual Norden Churches took place before the service at the Memorial Gardens.

A two minutes’ silence was observed, and wreaths laid by local groups.

Knitted poppies from the Women's Institute also graced the gardens, as did painted stones.

This year, the centenary of Armistice Day fell on Remembrance Service, marking one hundred years since Germany signed the peace agreement ending four long years of fighting, the end of the Great War.

A turning point in world history, the Great War claimed the lives of over 16 million people worldwide, leaving a huge impact on all those who experienced it.
