President Mary Spinks laid the wreath on behalf of the Rotary Club of Maidenhead at the Remembrance Sunday service at the war memorial outside the town hall.
Mary joined representatives from Maidenhead Thames and Maidenhead Bridge Rotary Clubs along with the Mayor, Vice Lord Lieutenant and representatives of the British Legion and other voluntary organisations for the socially distanced service on Sunday 8th November.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions there was no parade this year but a bugler from the Salvation Army played the Last Post and Reveille, and participants were able to join in singing a hymn and the national anthem.
Mary said: “It was a great privilege to lay the wreath on behalf of all members of Maidenhead Rotary Club at the war memorial at the town hall.
“In remembering those who gave their lives for us, it brought to mind the hope of those left behind for a better world. In a minor way, we need to be hopeful that we will survive the difficult times we live in and remain positive for the future.”
