Dedication of Additional Memorial Plaques at St Mary’s Church, Hayling Island – 11th November

A beautiful service was held at St Mary’s Church, Hayling Island where a plaque was dedicated to the 24 men killed in action in World War One.   These 24 men for some reason, were never included on the plaques already in the church commemorating the dead of Hayling Island. Research by the U3A on Hayling Island revealed their names.

Two schools sent pupils to this service and 24 of the pupils lit a candle each to mark each name.   This was a very moving ceremony.
