Remembrance Sunday, 8 November
While we continue to remember the centenary of World War I this year, see Wendover Remembers on page 9, we also remembered the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain which changed the course of World War II. Wendover’s Remembrance Parade traditionally happens from 2.30pm on the Manor Waste. This year the Wendover Remembers Wall Hanging, see article on page 9 of August edition, will be paraded for the first time. It will also be displayed in St Mary’s Church during the Let the Chilterns Sing Concert on Saturday 21 November, see also article on page 7. An explanatory booklet will be given to each person who helped sew the Wall Hanging and accompany the Wall Hanging as it is displayed by various organisations which helped create it before it finds its resting place on display for all to see.
