VE Day 80th Anniversary

May 2025

At 9:30pm on 8th May we took part in a nationwide ‘lamp lights of peace’ event to lluminate the Colehill war memorial with lamps and 100 candles, many of which were inscribed with the names of those valiant men from Colehill who laid down their lives to give us the peace and freedom we enjoy today.
Our thanks to all those who participated including:
– Pupils and the headmaster, Mr Ayling, from St Michael’s Middle School
– Members and staff of the Reef Youth Club
– The Revd Suzanne Pattle and members of the choir from St Michael’s Church
– Andy Urquhart who played the Last Post and Reveille
– Colehill Parish Councillors and their families who helped organise and manage the event
