Cllr Robin Griffin, of Kingsbridge Town Council, writes: The notes from Vic's cornet floated like silver tears of ­sorrow over the large, sombre gathering honouring our town's dead, some from a century ago. As one tasked to lay a wreath from the police cadets, I was privileged to watch our ­remembrance pageant unfold faultlessly in front of me. Of course, those adults at the heart of town life discharged their roles on time and in place. Remarkably, a large number of children and youth associations immaculately ­presented joined the solemnity with precision. John Peacock and his team from The Mill/Royal British Legion set out to organise an impeccable tribute to our dead boys with parade marshal Mark Lamble, and that is how it unfolded. I congratulate both men and their teams as they incorporated the drill style and timing that was the hallmark of our dead heroes. The part played by The Mill/Legion was far from over after we left the refurbished memorial. Amy and her team, mindful that an army marches on its stomach, had laid on a wonderful buffet – a gift to folk who stood in mourning in the event. Mayor Wayne Grills ­delivered a well done to all who mourned and respected our dead lads, and of course to The Mill/Legion, which was ­fittingly at the heart of this vital event. I add many congratulations to the youngsters, who clearly represent a fine future for our town.
