The eucharist service on Remembrance Sunday was celebrated by the Rev Len Jepp.

He emphasised that, whilst we live in scary times with war, terrorism and dreadful natural disasters, this has always been the case in the world since time immemorial. Jesus told us not to be scared, to follow Him, love our neighbours and thus demonstrate our love of God,

The service at Mawgan on Sunday will be morning prayer at 11.15am taken by the Rev Heather Aston.

The morning was unusually mild, dry and sunny when over 80 people from across the Meneage parishes and beyond gathered at Mawgan War Memorial on Remembrance Sunday for the Act of Remembrance.

The high attendance, including many young children, demonstrates the continuing importance, to a wide range of people, of remembering those who have given their lives in conflicts. Henry Goldsworthy, a veteran of the Second World War and in his 80s, spoke the exhortation and laid the Royal British Legion wreath on the memorial. At the other end of the age spectrum, James Davies laid the wreath on behalf of Garras School. More than a dozen wreaths and crosses laid, on behalf of churches, schools and local organisations, included those on behalf of HMS Seahawk, RNAS Culdrose, laid by Lieutenant Commander Adam Jones, Mawgan Parish Council laid by Chairman, Cllr Kevin Roberts, and Parc Vro Residential Home, opposite the memorial, where residents could be seen watching from the windows as Peter McLoughlin laid their wreath.

The service of remembrance was led by Mr Jepp, 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 about ten minutes. On such a still morning the Mawgan church bells could be heard tolling and Reveille also echoed across the valley from RNAS Culdrose. Over £270 was raised on the day for the British Legion.
