Bible Reading

Micah 4.1-4

read by Vice Lord Lieutenant Tim Hare

In days to come the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised up above the hills.

Peoples shall stream to it, 2 and many nations shall come and say: ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.’

For out of Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

3 He shall judge between many peoples, and shall arbitrate between strong nations far away; they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more; 4 but they shall all sit under their own vines and under their own fig trees, and no one shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.

The Act of Remembrance

The Reverend Canon Paul Maybury

Let us remember before God, and commend to his sure keeping: Those who have died for their country in conflict; those whom we knew, and whose memory we treasure; and all who have lived and died in the service of humanity.

The exhortation will be recited by a member of the Royal British Legion They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them We will remember them.

The Last Post Two minutes silence The Reveille The Kohima Epitaph will be recited by a member of the Royal British Legion When you go home tell them of us and say: ‘For your tomorrow, we gave our today.’
