A ceremony has been held to bless Warminster’s Garden of Remembrance, where crosses are placed in memory of service personnel who have died.
The annual Blessing of the Garden of Remembrance took place at St Lawrence Chapel on Sunday 18th October, ahead of the official start of the Poppy Appeal.
Those attending included representatives of the Royal British Legion, members of the local branch and the wider community, along with clergy, and Poppy Appeal organisers.
Warminster RBL branch chair Christina Bosley said, “The area blessed enables people to place the traditional ‘poppy’ crosses and similar crosses in remembrance of passed service personnel. All conflicts are relevant, not only World War I and World War II. This year the RBL is remembering Op Telic, the British involvement in the Iraq War, from 30th April 2009 to 22nd May 2015.”
