GLA held a service to remember the war dead on Friday 8th November 2012 at 10.30am with a two minute silence at 11am.
The Very Reverend Andrew Nunn, dean of Southwark, said,”It is our duty, as we sleep safely in our beds, to remember not only those who have lost their lives in conflicts past but also those who serve and sacrifice today. The London Assembly is committed to remembering all those who have fallen in war and to the principle that we owe moral, physical and financial support to those injured or bereaved in the service of their country.“
All the faith communities were represented and Umesh Sharma from Hindu Council UK said a Sanskrit prayer as did other faiths said theirs.
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti.
Umesh Sharma JP
