Join us at the week’s close to remember those who have served and sacrificed so that we may enjoy our lives of relative peace, comfort and freedom.
The service takes place every Sunday* at 4.45pm and includes a bugle call, Shrine Guard in historic uniform, wreath-laying, recital of the Ode, and lowering of the flags.
