Armistice Day Service

On Armistice Day, usually a short service is held at the War Memorial outsideSt Peter’s Churchto mark the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
Due to the current 28 day national Coronavirus ‘lockdown’ this yearRuddington & District Branch of the Royal British Legion, our local church leaders and a representative from Ruddington Parish Council have instead pre-recorded one for viewing in our homes on the morning of Wednesday November 11th.

The video is below. Please start playing it at 10:58’15” in order to observe the two minute silence at exactly 11:00’00”.

Remembrance Sunday seemed very strange indeed, with no physical service, processions or crowds along Church Street this year for the first time since The Great War – as Ruddington continues to do battle with a much less obvious, viral invader.
The War Memorial gates will remain open until the 14th of November for privatereflection and for the laying of wreaths and crosses by individuals, groups and organisations from our village.
