Welcome Graham, thank you for taking an interest in Robert and taking the time to join us.

I'll be watching TV as HM The Queen lays a wreath on behalf of her subjects, and I'm sure we shall all be together in spirit, on Sunday, what ever part of the globe you live  ;)

What a very moving story, I have just read it all and cannot help being very impressed by the huge amount of work that has gone into this.

The photos are brilliant Edna.  What a very impressive and inspirational work by all of you.

Lovely to have the Verger join in as well. Welcome Graham.

Well done everybody.  I shall be thinking of you all when I stand outside our church by our own War Memorial on Sunday Morning.

I just wanted to say "Hello!" to Graham also  ;D 

and to say, you may well easily recognise Rootschatters who come to the Sunday Service - they will be the ones seen lying on the ground, trying to see what it says on the underside of THAT stone, possibly with a small digital camera as far under as it will safely go..... ;D ;D ;D

Joking aside, I too will be thinking of you all on Sunday UK time, and remembering all our brave soldiers and their brave families too.

God Bless

Hello and welcome to Graham!

Unfortunately the evening service will coincide with hospital visiting and my mum's been in Fazakerley for the last couple of weeks.

If I can make it at all I will be there for the 10.30 am service - I'll be the one wearing a poppy  ;) ;D

Went to the service at the Village Memorial this morning, and was thinking about everyone in Liverpool and wondering how many went to the service in the end

Good evening All,


I attended today at 11.00 am, at Mazingarbe, the commemorative ceremonies of the armistice of Nov. 11 1918.

Throughout these ceremonies Robert's Medal did not leave the palm of my hand, I felt that he was there with me, especially when the musicians played "God save the Queen".
