The Remembrance Day Service at the Seghill Memorial has been a tradition in our village and volunteers have actively worked to improve the event and broaden its appeal.

As well as the Poppy display, Veterans March and Memorial Service the Institute serves as a gathering point for people to join together to remember those lost in World conflicts !

However unfortunately Pipers and musicians do not come free these days so we are seeking your support to continue to develop the event which has to date been funded by the donations from private individuals.
Costs this year will be in excess of £750 so if you can donate to help support our Remembrance Day then please do so here.

VJ Day marks the day Japan surrendered on 15 August 1945 - 80 years ago today.

Although the Second World War was over, fighting continued for some weeks as isolated Japanese garrisons fought on.

VJ Day represents the end of one of the bloodiest and hardest fought parts of the conflict.

Eighty one years ago the D-Day operation of June 6, 1944, landed 156,000 Allied troops by sea and air on five beachheads in Normandy, France.
It was known as the largest amphibious invasion in military history.
D-Day was the start of Allied operations which would ultimately liberate Western Europe, defeat N**i Germany and end the Second World War.

Christmas Eve in 1914
Stars were burning, burning bright
And all along the Western Front
Guns were lying still and quiet.
Men lay dozing in the trenches,
In the cold and in the dark,
And far away behind the lines
A village dog began to bark.



Some lay thinking of their families,
Some sang songs while others were quiet
Rolling f**s and playing brag
To while away that Christmas night.
But as they watched the German trenches
Something moved in No Man’s Land
And through the dark came a soldier
Carrying a white flag in his hand.





Then from both sides men came running,
Crossing into No Man’s Land,
Through the barbed-wire, mud and shell holes,
Shyly stood there shaking hands.
Fritz brought out ci**rs and brandy,
Tommy brought corned beef and f**s,
Stood there talking, singing, laughing,
As the moon shone on No Man’s Land.



Christmas Day we all played football
In the mud of No Man’s Land;
Tommy brought some Christmas pudding,
Fritz brought out a German band.
When they beat us at football
We shared out all the grub and drink
And Fritz showed me a faded photo
Of a dark-haired girl back in Berlin.
