After the ‘For the Fallen’ poem was read by former Royal Marine and RBL member Bert Sherwood, the Last Post was played and a two-minute silence was observed before the Reveille.
Rev Khan said: “It was a really good turn-out, the silence was impeccably observed and it was also great that the Bromsgrove School CCF came down – that was a really nice surprise.”
