Around 80 people from across the Meneage parishes gathered at Mawgan War Memorial on Remembrance Sunday for the Act of Remembrance.

The muffled church bells could be heard across the village just before 11am when Chris Knuckey spoke the exhortation and laid the Royal British Legion wreath on the memorial. Children Ella Newman and Alex Rand laid a wreath for Garras School, and Maud Ridley, accompanied by her mother, laid the wreath from Owlets Pre-school.

Other wreaths, posies and crosses laid included those on behalf of HMS Seahawk at RNAS Culdrose, by Commander Jeff Bell; Mawgan Parish Council, by chairman, Kevin Roberts; St Martin Parish Council, by its chairman, Phillip Jenkin; Mawgan Luncheon Club, by Sue Stone; Mawgan Recreation Hall, by Colin Chapman; Mawgan Friendship Club, by Hazel Kelly; St Mawgan in Meneage Church, by churchwarden Lindsay Hockley; Mawgan Church bell ringers, by churchwarden Pauline Arnold; and Parc Vro Residential Home, opposite the memorial, where residents could be seen watching from the windows as Peter Mcloughlin laid their wreath. Harvey Nicholas represented the St Elvan Scouts and Ron Burdekin the Royal Naval Association.

The service of remembrance was led by the Rev Heather Aston, and the hymns were accompanied, on the cornet, by Anthony Hoskin who also played the Last Post and Reveille either side of the two minutes silence. As a mark of respect the traffic was stopped on the busy roundabout for the silence.

Around £200 was raised on the day for the Royal British Legion.
