December means  Light Up Liphook is coming

The Town Square was filled to capacity as hundreds of people attended the Remembrance Day service and parade to the War Memorial where young people read out the names inscribed there.

Many organisations and people joined the Petersfield Royal British Legion in laying wreaths at the Memorial, including all our Councils, our MP, schools and many voluntary and service organisations.

We hear from serving members of the Armed Forces, Veterans, Councilor Penny Flux from EHDC, Damian Hinds MP, Herne Junior school, some just attending and we have an extract from the words of Reverend Will Hughes who spoke in the Town Square.

We hear from the young trumpeter from Churcher's College who played the Last Post.

Daz, the organiser of the RBL's Poppy Appeal also gives us an update.
