Armistice Day

Bristol’s Lord-Lieutenant Mrs Peaches Golding OBE participated in the laying of wreathes at Paddington Station organised by GWR and Network Rail.  Designated trains from across the GWR region collected poppy wreathes for display at Platform 1, Paddington Station.  Royal British Legion’s Billy Wilde carried the Lord-Lieutenant’s wreath to Bristol Temple Meads station where it joined others from across the City on its journey to London.  Wreathes from the Lord Mayor, HMS FLYING FOX and others all travelled together on the Armistice Day train.  Peaches Golding, as Honorary Captain RNR, was also asked to join dignitaries across the region in the reading of a passage from a poem used as part of the service at Paddington Station.
