THE Remembrance Day service held in South Petherwin on Sunday, November 11 commenced with a gathering at the war memorial at 10.45am where the names of the fallen were read, a wreath was laid and the two minutes’ silence was observed at 11am.

The service then continued at South Petherwin Methodist Chapel where it was conducted by Dr Brian Davis from St Paternus Anglican Church. The children from South Petherwin Primary School had been busy making poppies for this service, and handmade by each of the 110 children, created a stunning display cascading down in front of the stained glass windows at the front of the chapel.

A collection was taken for the Poppy Appeal and refreshments were served in the Sunday school room afterwards.
