Exhortation (Read by the Branch Chairman)
They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning,
We will remember them.
Response (By all present)
"We will remember them"
Bugler sounds the Last Post
Two minute silence
Bugler sounds Reveille

Hymn
O God, our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Our shelter from the stormy blast
And our eternal home
Beneath the shadow of thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure
Sufficient is Thine arm alone
And our defence is sure
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home. Amen
Prayers of Remembrance
National Anthem
God save our gracious King!
Long live our noble King!
God save the King!
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the King.
