There will be an Act of Remembrance at Keymer Church on Wednesday 11th November at 10.50am. Father Alex explains, “this short act of remembrance takes place around the memorial, with some wreath laying and some prayers before we observe the two-minute silence at 11.00am. People don’t need to book because it’s an act of worship and outside.”

Here are other activities that we can do this year to remember our fallen heroes:

• Take a walk to The Chattri, the Hindu monument to their fallen soldiers, located on the South
Downs. Access is from Patcham or Jack & Jill Windmills along the South Downs Way.

• Paint a poppy and display it in your window.

• Bake 11 cupcakes, ice in red and share with your neighbours.

• Paint pebbles with poppies and hide them around Hassocks for others to discover.

• Remember the minute silence at 11am on 11 November.

• Remember to wear your poppy; you can still get them from the many outlets in Hassocks.
