THOSE who gave their lives in the two world wars were respectfully remembered in Holsworthy last Sunday afternoon at the Remembrance parade and service.

Some 250 people, representing various organisations in the town, assembled in the Square and on a word of command from Staff Sergeant Jim Harvey of the Army Cadet Force and watched by an equally large crowd, marched to Bodmin St Methodist Church led by the town band.

In a packed church the service was led by the minister, the Rev John Henry, assisted by the rector, Father Christopher Penn, who also preached the sermon. In it he stressed the importance of continuing to remember the individuals who, out of a sense of duty and because it was the right thing to do, left their homes and villages prepared to make the supreme sacrifice. Don Parker and Sue Ivey of the Royal British Legion read the lessons and the organist was Martyn Squire.
