Horsham care home marks Remembrance

Residents and staff at Glen Arun Nursing Home came together on Wednesday 11th November to mark Remembrance Day with a heartfelt tribute to those who served during wartime.

The lounge was transformed into a place of remembrance, displaying the names of residents’ loved ones who had taken part in the war. A speech was delivered, followed by the reading aloud of each name and a two-minute silence.

Residents and staff also watched the Remembrance Service at the Royal Albert Hall before spending time sharing personal stories, memories and experiences of wartime.

The day was particularly meaningful, with staff expressing how privileged they felt to hear these first-hand accounts from residents, helping to preserve memories and ensure their stories continue to be shared.

Alongside the commemorations, Glen Arun also raised money through poppy sales in support of the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. The donations were personally delivered to the Royal British Legion in Horsham town centre.

It was an emotional and significant day for everyone involved, bringing generations together to remember, reflect and give thanks.

Lest We Forget.
