Tiverton Parade & Wreath Laying on Remembrance Sunday 2010

ONE of the biggest crowds Tiverton has seen on a Remembrance Sunday turned out to honour the sacrifices made by our armed forces.
The parade which began on Fore Street at 10.30am was supported by groups such as the Brownies and Scouts, former war veterans, and civic dignitaries.
Brigadier Robin-Rhoderick Jones orchestrated the parade to St Peter's Church where the Tiverton Town Band played God Save the Queen, before the procession gathered inside for the service.
After the church service, the parade made their way back down towards Angel Hill to lay wreaths on the Memorial Building with the mayor, Cllr Lester Crocker, laying the first. He said: "The response today, with the amount of people who turned out in the streets was brilliant. There seemed to be a lot more response this year.
"Today is about honouring the people who have fallen in the past so we can be here today. I feel honoured and privileged to be able to be mayor at this event with so many people turning up."
Chairman of the Royal British Legion Ramsay Hutchison praised the Tivertonians for attending the event: "There were considerably more people in the parade, , and the support from the people on the street was wonderful."
"I have never seen a crowd like it, or a parade like it in a small town such as Tiverton, and it just shows what the feeling of today is all about.
"I think there is more effort by people to show what remembrance is all about, and we have the backing of town and district councils to help."
