A very large turnout for the Remembrance day parade.
Fully dressed up, with a wreath to lay on behalf of the Royal Navy Association.
I was allowed for the first time to be part of the front parade which marched from the Mayor's office to the church memorial.
A service was held with a couple of hymns, children singing, and the dedication of wreaths.
Also a short story on the history of the poppy which went down well with the locals.
Afterwards, it's the short walk back for a vin d'honneur to toast
the fallen, and a collection for the bluey sticker which is the French equal of the poppy.
