Winchester fell silent this morning for Remembrance Sunday 2021.
Local MP, Steve Brine, laid a wreath out Winchester Cathedral alongside the Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire and Mayor of Winchester. It was the tenth time he has done so.
Prior to the Act of Remembrance, a special service was held inside the Cathedral led by the Dean of Winchester and Acting Bishop. Lt Col The Reverend Nicholas Mercer, Rector at Bolton Abbey, delivered the sermon.
Steve said; "After all the noise, and nonsense, of political debate it is truly humbling and very moving to see everyone stop in their tracks and put everything into perspective. The men and women of our armed forces, which I am getting to see closer than ever this year through my part in the Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme, really are the best of the best and they give everything so we may remain free. We will always remember them and their sacrifice."
