Some poignant memories of the Christmas truce, filmed in the 1960s....

Sometimes you look and wonder... We have just taken a photo from yesterday's memorial service and changed it to black and white for Tarporley News. On doing so, the shadow of the War Memorial against the bush behind seems to have morphed into the silhouette of a soldier... Can you see it?

On the 100th anniversary of the guns falling silent, Tarporley has remembered those who lost their lives in World War 1 and in all wars...

Are you attending this year's Remembrance Day service in Tarporley? The parade will set off from Burton Square at 10.15am and the service starts in St Helen's at 10.45. It is also being streamed live on Youtube and Facebook! Just search for 'Tarporley RBL'. We are expected a large number to attend, so a TV screen will be set up outside the church for those who cannot get in.

After the service, why not stroll around our nearby Memorial Walk and learn the stories of Tarporley and its residents during the First World War?

The soldier silhouettes are back at St Helen's Parish Church, Tarporley. Please go and experience this poignant tribute to the village's lost World War 1 soldiers. Beautiful artwork from local schools is also on display.

Experience the silhouettes from Saturday November 3rd - Friday November 9th and pop into the church this Saturday afternoon (the 3rd) for a special event featuring poetry, drama and music. It's a drop-in event, themed around remembrance, WW1 and peace...

Have you had chance to stroll along the Memorial Walk yet? We have just had the walk published into a lovely colour book so you can take one home as a keepsake. Each book has a suggested donation of £4 (call it a fiver if you're willing) with proceeds going to Tarporley War Memorial Hospital.

On sale tomorrow at Tarporley Carnival and available in the village after the weekend. If you can't get to Tarporley, but would like a book - do let us know and we can see how we can post one out to you.
