Remembrance Sunday

PEOPLE in Greenock fell silent on Remembrance Sunday to remember the sacrifices made by the hundreds of men from the area who served their country in the two world wars and in conflicts around the world since then.

Earlier RWM Bro. Thomas A. Porteous accompanied by a number of brethren of the Lodge attended the service of Remembrance at Lyle Kirk, Greenock where the service was led by the Lodge Senior Chaplain Bro. Rev. Jonathan C. Fleming.

Thereafter Bro. Porteous attended the civic ceremony of Remembrance at the Cenotaph at Wellpark. Following the silence, wreaths were laid at the memorial on behalf of the King, Inverclyde Council and by local schools and community organisations. RWM Bro. Porteous laid a wreath on behalf of Lodge Greenock St. John's No. 175.
