THE past, present and future of the armed forces gathered at the War Memorial yesterday for the Remembrance Day service.

The parade marched from the Town Arsenal to Ann’s Place for The Act of Remembrance, which commemorated those who have fallen in war.

A bugler sounded the Last Post, followed by the cannon being fired at Castle Cornet at 11am to signal the start of a two-minute silence.

The Lt-Governor, Sir Fabian Malbon, and Bailiff Geoffrey Rowland led the wreath-laying ceremony, which was followed by prayers led by the Dean, the Very Rev. Paul Mellor.

Eleven-year-old Monty Burnard (pictured), representing the Sea Cadets, was the youngest wreath-layer. ‘It was a bit nerve-racking, because I only learnt the routine this morning,’ she said.

The service was in memory of all the people who had died in all wars, she said. ‘They must have had lots of guts to go out there and fight for their country.’
