Renfrew Remembers

Renfrew Burgh Band was proud to play a part in this year's Remembrance Service, joining veterans, uniformed organisations, elected representatives, local faith leaders and members of the community in paying tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country.

As a band that has served the people of Renfrew for more than 115 years, participating in the town's annual act of remembrance remains one of the most important and meaningful engagements in our calendar. It is both a privilege and a responsibility that we are honoured to undertake each year.

During the service, Principal Cornet Jessica Tanner performed a moving rendition of The Last Post, while the band accompanied the worship and helped provide the musical backdrop to this solemn occasion.

A particularly poignant moment came when Ian Mercer laid a wreath on behalf of Renfrew Burgh Band. As far as we are aware, this marked the first time in the band's history that a wreath has been formally laid in the band's name, making the occasion especially significant for everyone connected with the organisation.

The service provided an opportunity for the community to come together in reflection, gratitude and remembrance, ensuring that the sacrifices made by past and present members of the Armed Forces are never forgotten.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
