Band contributes to local Acts of Remembrance

Royal British Legion Festival

November is always the start of a busy time for Lyme Town Band. The Remembrance period began with the Lyme Regis British Legion Festival of Remembrance, which took place at the Woodmead Halls. As well as accompanying the hymn for the Act of Remembrance, the band contributed several appropriate pieces, including the marches from 633 Squadron and The Great Escape and a selection of well-known wartime songs. The band were joined by the audience for the finale – a rousing performance of ‘Land of Hope and Glory.’

Lyme Regis Parish Church was the venue on Remembrance Sunday, where the band provided accompaniment for the hymns at the annual Remembrance service which was very well attended. The Last Post and Reveille were played by our principal cornet Peter Hurdwell.
