The City of Wells fell silent for two minutes at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month to mark the ultimate sacrifice made by those who lost their lives in wars and conflicts to preserve our freedoms.
Police closed the road and the traffic stopped as the bugler played the last post and The Royal British Legion Wells Branch lowered the Colour. Prayers were led by the Reverend Sam Denyer, Vicar of St. Cuthbert’s and the Mayor’s Chaplain.
Members of the public stopped and bowed their heads to pay their respects. It was a very moving occasion. The Mayor is pictured here at the Service at the Conduit in the centre of the City.
