Town centre falls silent to remember those lost at war
 
Lest we forget:
Commanding Officer 21st
Signal Regiment at the
Armistice Ceremony
Swindon town centre fell silent for two minutes at 11am to remember those lost at war.
 
inSwindon held the event, its second Armistice Day Ceremony, to allow shoppers and retailers the opportunity to remember those that had fallen.

The event started with a parade led by a piper, Bugler, Troops, Colours and Normandy Veterans before ex-servicemen Tunde Fagunwa, Bernie Maguire and Simon Jackson read prayers.
 
After a two minute silence the Reveille was played by Mr Steve Flavin to finish the ceremony.
