RESIDENTS of a Lower Earley care home took part in their own Remembrance Sunday commemorations.
Staff at Austen House in Kilnsea Drive arranged for them to take part in a two-minute silence and to watch the televised service in The Cenotaph.
They also took part in activities including making poppy displays, listening to old wartime songs, reading war poems and taking part in a Remembrance Service at nearby St Nicolas Church.
Resident Maurice said: “It is very important that we keep the memories of those who fought alive and that we also think about those involved in conflicts around the world today.”
Joleen Leung, operations manager at Austen House, said: “We have many residents with personal ties to the military and many who have experienced conflict either at home or abroad so it was important to us to mark Remembrance Day and honour the contribution of everyone involved in the World Wars and in subsequent conflicts.”
