Armistice Day 2010 

Town centre falls silent to remember those lost at war

inSwindon hosted its third Armistice Day Ceremony in the town centre today to remember those lost at war.

The event started with a parade led by a piper, before ex-servicemen Tunde Fagunwa, Bernie Maguire and Simon Jackson read prayers.

"Holding an event in Wharf Green allows shoppers and retailers the opportunity to remember those that had fallen," commented Simon Jackson chief executive inSwindon.

"And with Prince Harry visiting Swindon this week it shows how important it is for the town to put on events like this."
