Verwood pays its respects

Sunday 13th November

Verwood Concert Brass were honoured to be part of the Remembrance Sunday service and parade.

Having played hymns at the packed church service, the band lead the parade to the war memorial playing the British Legion March where a large crowd had gathered for the wreath laying ceremony.

Very well done to Sophie Howes, Verwood Concert Brass's repiano cornet player, for playing the Last Post with such feeling, plus a rousing Reveille.

Occasions such as this are a reminder that the band is very much part of the community and form an important part of our heritage.

Many thanks to local photographer, John Larry, for use of some of his photos.
