Bells ringing out at 12.30 will help mark the shift in emphasis from Remembrance in the morning to thanksgiving in the afternoon for the end of war and for peace. This will coincide with the start of the People’s Procession, as 10,000 members of the public march past the Cenotaph in a nation’s thank you.</span></span><span class=yiv0204872917><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span class=yiv0204872917><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'> </span></b></span><span class=yiv0204872917><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>(</span></span><span style='font-family:"Helvetica Neue Medium",serif;color:black;background:white'>Sir Henry Aubrey-Fletcher is Lord-Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire for Trivial Pursuit Fans).</span><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span class=yiv0204872917><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span class=yiv0204872917><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>The official opening of the footbridge</span></b></span><span class=yiv0204872917><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'> on November 2<sup>nd</sup> will be followed by a firework display at 7pm <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Roger Worthington, Secretary HTS<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>07787556309<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
