Our thanks to our local MP and Councillors, all the representatives or organisations and the public that attended our Service of Remembrance at Brandwood End today. After the uncertainty of Covid restrictions last year we were not sure that we could return to our normal numbers-but we did!
The wreaths featured at the start of this post were made, by hand, by the Scouts, Cubs and Beavers of 148th St Dunstans.
Members of 202 did us proud today as they spent 5 hours uncovering graves lost under shrubbery, clearing Holly and making sure all our War Graves are accessible
Several truck loads of Holly and Ivy were removed and the hedges around the Cross of Sacrifice trimmed and area swept.
Our thanks go out to all of them for their work but also their interest in those buried and remembered in Brandwood End.
FBEC are honoured to be members of the above organisation and today and tomorrow we are attending an international conference encompassing members from countries as far away as Serbia and the UK. 
Today is a day to remember those who lost their lives through conflict.
The Cemetery will be closed to vehicles on Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th December, there will be pedestrian access through the main gate and broad lane, however no vehicles will be able to gain access during this time.
This is due to the roadway leading into the cemetery being resurfaced. Thank you all for your patience but this work has been needed for some time.
Just a reminder. When shopping at Becketts Farm Shop, please pop a token in our community drop box to help us win funding for our day to day projects. The photo above may help you locate it !
A beautiful photograph to accompany a sad loss. Thank you Kaye Williams for allowing us to use this photograph of your brother in law after he played for your father’s interment in Brandwood End.
As well as being special to Kaye, it will also be special to those of us that know and love our Redwoods.

Numbers for this indoor event are restricted but this will potentially be the first of many such opportunities to take part, so watch this space.
