BUCKDEN BRANCH - ROYAL BRITISH LEGION
This year Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday fall on the same day. For the 100
th
anniversary of the Armistice which ended
the fighting in the First World War, that seems a very appropriate coincidence.
There will be the usual Remembrance Sunday service in St. Mary’s Church, but this year it will start at 10.15 am to allow for the
likely size of the congregation. With that in mind, Buckden Branch of the Royal British Legion will form up (as usual at the en-
trance to Lucks Lane) at 9.45 am. I do hope that as many members as possible (of both sexes) will join us. It would help to re-
serve seats if you could let me know before Friday 9
th
November if you are joining the parade. Also, if there are members of the
Branch who do not feel able to parade but would like to sit with their fellow members, please contact me, also before Friday 9
th
November, and I will try and get seats reserved for you as well, if there are not too many. My E-mail address is
peter.mount@btconnect.com
and my telephone number, on which you can leave a message, is 01480 810805.
Some of you may remember the performance, quite a number of years ago, of Karl Jenkins’ The Armed Man (A Mass for Peace)
by the Eagle Choir from Bedford in St. Mary’s Church before Remembrance Sunday. I am very pleased to be able to tell you that
they have agreed to a repeat performance at 7.30 pm on Saturday 10
th
November. Tickets will be £10.00 and the Church has
very generously agreed that all proceeds can go to the Royal British Legion. I am sure that it will be an excellent and moving
occasion and I do hope that as many as possible will attend. Tickets can be obtained on (01480) 812777 or from The Flower
Boutique (High Street) or Nisa (Hunts End) or you can contact me and I will sort some out for you.
Finally, on this unique anniversary, those of you who are not members of the National Trust or have not read your magazine yet
may not know that shortly after the end of the First World War 14 peaks in the Lake District were given to the National Trust in
three separate gifts as memorials to the fallen. They comprise Scafell Pike (the highest mountain in England), Lingmell, Broad
Crag, Great End, Castle Crag, Seathwaite Fell, Allen Crags, Glaramara, Kirk Fell, Green Gable, Great Gable, Base Brown, Bran-
dreth and Grey Knotts and are known, rightly, as “The Great Gift”. I have climbed most of these, some very recently, without,
rather to my shame, knowing anything about this. For those of us who love the Lake District, this could give an extra meaning
walks there, or just to visits.
Peter Mount, Chairman.
