Chatburn and Worston War Memorial (Fully restored thanks to Village Council)
It will be 80 years on 06/06/2024 since the D-Day landings, the start of the liberation of Europe.
It will be 80 years since the end of the second world war on 01/09/1944.
On 8 May 2025, we mark the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE Day), when the nation will unite to remember the end of the Second World War in Europe. Around the country, events will be taking place to pay tribute to those involved in that conflict, as well as reminding us to pray and work for peace in our communities and in the world.
We will commemorate this in our Tuesday service on the 6th May 2025.
They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.

"In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae (1915)
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
After witnessing the carnage of WWI John McCrae wrote
In "Flanders Fields".
McCrae, a Canadian, was a medical officer in the
Boer War and World War I.
