ROYAL Star and Garter veterans fell silent to remember comrades and loved ones.
Residents staff and volunteers from the Monkspath Hall Road care home laid a wreath at the Remembrance Sunday service at St Alphege Church on Sunday (November 10).
There was also a service for all at the home, which looks after veterans and their partners with disability or dementia, to attend.
The service featured the Last Post, a two-minute silence and laying of poppy wreaths.
Among those to give a reading at the service was Elaine Butler, president of Warwickshire and Birmingham County Royal British Legion, and Peggy Britton from Queen Alexandra’s Royal Army Nursing Corps.
Home manager Katie McCauley also gave a reading, and there was poetry and hymns.
Reveille and The Last Post was played by bugler Peter Tonks and Royal Star and Garter residents laid down poppy wreaths after observing the two minutes’ silence. In the run-up to Remembrance, residents took part in various poppy-based arts and crafts, which were used to decorate the home.
