“ At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them “ - Laurence Binyon, 1914.

We have laid our poppy wreath at Shiney Row’s Remembrance Service this morning.
It was good to see such a great turn out and an increase in numbers this year.

We would like to extend our thanks everyone who attended this morning and especially to the Churches Together for the organising of the service alongside the fantastic Salvation Army Band.

We have stumbled upon this photograph in the archives of Craig & Simon at the back of the hearse. This was taken back in 2003 alongside our much loved and respected colleague the late Stan Horwood.

Stan is a great miss, we have many happy memories of working alongside Stan for many years.

I am sure you’ll all agree that they have both maintained their good looks …. however as always they can’t agree on who is the best looking!
