🪖❤️ REMEMBERANCE DAY ❤️🪖

In Flanders Fields - poem by John McCrae

In Flanders' fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders' fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe;
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high,
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders' Fields.

Sadly this is so heartbreakingly true 💔 Just lately we are having more and more drivers on the roads being impatient and trying to push in on the Funeral Cortège’s in between the Hearse and the Limousines with bereaved family members in, and even on funerals with our horses too.

This is happening to the point where accidents have nearly been caused because someone just wants to cut in or to cut through.

I appreciate we drive slower, but this is someone’s final journey, and this is done out of respect.

Whether this makes you 30 seconds, one minute or two minutes late for where you need to be, think about that person who has passed and the families that are following.

A final journey is so precious

Could I ask everyone for some help at this very difficult time....

Paying Our Respects

If you see a hearse, could you stop, stand for a moment as it passes, perhaps take off your cap, and bow your head?

we wondered if we could revive an old tradition that would show people that their loss is noticed and shared by us all?

It would mean the world to families in a time of sadness.

Please if you see a hearse at a junction please stop and allow some of the following cars to also exit the junction. On most cases this is the family behind following the hearse.

It only makes your Journey slightly longer but means the world to families in sure different times. Thank you 🙏🙏

Today marks the beginning of Baby Loss Awareness Week, a time dedicated to honouring the precious lives that were lost too soon. This week serves as a reminder of the profound impact that these losses have on families and communities. We recognize the pain that many carry in silence, and we stand together in solidarity to support one another.

If you would like to commemorate a beloved child who has touched your life, we invite you to place a ribbon in their memory. Each ribbon symbolizes a unique story, a cherished moment, and a love that transcends time. By participating in this meaningful act, you join a community that understands the depth of your grief and the importance of remembrance.

We understand that the journey of healing is personal and can often feel isolating. Our space is open for anyone who wishes to share their story or simply take a moment of reflection. You are not alone, and we are here to provide support and comfort during this challenging time.

We are proud to support the charity Sands, whose vital work focuses on saving babies' lives and providing support to bereaved families during their most difficult times.
