POIGNANT and touching moments were evoked during Reading’s Remembrance Sunday service.

Reading Minster hosted dozens of guests, before residents joined in by taking part in a march to the Forbury War Memorial.

The likes of Matt Rodda, Alok Sharma, John Madejski and councillor Debs Edwards, the Mayor of Reading, were in attendance.

The parade was led by the Waterloo Band and Bugles of the 7 Rifles.

Guests had the chance to lay wreaths with personal messages, before the huge crowd observed a two-minute silence next to the war memorial.

Meanwhile, a tireless effort from the residents of Tilehurst to ensure the fallen heroes of the first

world war were not forgotten 100 years on came to fruition on Sunday.

The community has spent several weeks organising activities in the build up to Remembrance Sunday, surrounding the Turn Tilehurst Red campaign.

It has seen schoolchildren, faith groups and businesses unite under one purpose; to mark the Armistice centenary.

On Sunday, residents of all ages came together at The Triangle to observe a moment of silence, while reflecting on all the village had done to mark the occasion.
