At eleven o'clock on November 11th, people gathered in the Market Place to observe two minutes silence in memory of those who died during the two World Wars.

The hands of the clock, which is broken due to the bell falling down were moved to the 11 o'clock position out of respect for Remembrance Day.

Learning about Armistice day

Pupils in Lynders Class and Oxenhall Class at Gorsley Goffs School spent two days learning all about World War One to help them plan their own remembrance service on Armistice Day.

The children did lots of research into what life was like for a World War I soldier and learnt some of the popular songs of the time, they even cooked 'Bully Beef' to get an idea of the kind of food the soldiers ate.

They also found out about any members of their own family who died in the Great War. They then created their own war memorial for the centre of the school's remembrance service and the names were displayed on the War memorial to remember those who gave up their lives for us.

They also made poppies and wreaths to lay on the memorial.

Their teacher Clair Maning, who joined the school this term said:?"The children learned so much about what it was like in the Great War which gave them a greater understanding of the importance of Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day."
