PEACE, PERFECT PEACE

March 15, 2020

Our event on Remembrance Sunday 2019 marked the end of our Heritage Lottery Funded project. Over the last two years, we have been working with Lonely Tower Film & Media on collecting the thoughts of today’s Wheatley Hill Community about the atrocities of the First World War. Lonely Tower have produced two wonderful multi-media presentations, which were enjoyed by an audience in the Cemetery. Both events in 2018 and 2019 have been similar—we hired a piper, asked volunteers to read war poetry and marked the unofficial and official ending of the War with respect.
