Our armistice coffee morning was a heartfelt gathering where residents, friends, family and colleagues came together to hour and remember those who gave their lives service. The room was filled with comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and homemade cakes, but beneath the warmth and chatter was a shared sense of gratitude and reflection.
At 11o'clock , we paused for a moment of silence, letting the stillness speak for the bravery and sacrifice of countless men and women. Stories were shared by one of our residents who served, poppies adorned and the event became a space for connection, remembrance and hope for peace. It was a gentle reminder that while we enjoy the freedoms of today, this was secured through courage and loss we must never forget.
