We opened up the Pigeon Hut again on Remembrance Sunday, offering tea and coffee and a place for the village to chat after laying the wreaths at the War Memorial. We were kept busy, welcoming some new faces as well as many of our members.
We were delighted to meet with relatives of Wilfred Smith. He was one of the fallen in WWI from Walkern. His great neices had traced his history and had decided to attend the wreath laying ceremony in Walkern to hear his name being read out. They then joined us in the Pigeon Hut to share stories of Wilfred and historic Walkern. His great-great-great niece was able to share a picture of his grave that she had been able to visit.
Paul Cattermole brought along his WWII Dodge, which was well received by many of our visitors
Thank you to everyone that joined us and made the morning so enjoyable.
