Two memorial events are taking place in Verwood this weekend giving local residents the opportunity to come together to remember the service and sacrifice of the Armed Forces and emergency services.

At 10.50am on 11th November, there will be a gathering to pay respects to the Fallen at the War Graves, St Michael’s Church, with everyone welcome to attend.

Then on Sunday 13th November, there will be a Memorial at 10.50am (after a Church Service at St Michael’s) at the War Memorial, Ringwood Rd (near to the Heritage Centre).

Here’s how the event on Sunday looks: (Thanks to Verwood.org)
