Date<\/strong>: Sunday 11 November 2018 The Royal Air Force Museum Cosford will hold a Service of Remembrance on Sunday 11 November, paying respect to those service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice during their tours of duty.<\/p>\n Visitors who wish to pay their respects and reflect on the sacrifices made by our brave service men and women are invited to join the service, led by the Station Chaplain at RAF Cosford. Those attending will also be treated to renditions from the Cosford Military Wives Choir, who will perform for visitors on arrival and during the service.<\/p>\n The service will take place in the Museum\u2019s Hangar 1 and visitors are politely requested to assemble no later than 10:30am ready for the Service to commence at 10.45am. As well as readings, there will be hymns and the sounding of \u2018The Last Post\u2019, followed by a two minute silence.<\/p>\n Students from Castle Bromwich Junior School in Birmingham will also be in attendance, reading poems they have written especially for the service. Year six students recently took part in a workshop delivered by the Museum\u2019s Access and Learning team, exploring the history behind Remembrance Sunday and the significance of the poppy, using a handling collection to spark discussion. A wall of poems written by the students will go on display in the Museum\u2019s \u2018War in the Air\u2019 Hangar over the remembrance period for visitors to view.<\/p>\n RAF Museum Cosford Events Executive, Nathan Davis said<\/strong>: During the service, wreaths will be laid by representatives from RAF Cosford, RAF Museum staff and volunteers, Cosford Military Wives Choir and Castle Bromwich Junior School in honour of those who have fallen in the line of duty. Following the service visitors are free to explore the Museum at their own leisure.<\/p>\n If you would like to find out about Service Personnel who fell serving in the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Air Force during the Great War of 1914 to 1918, or to dedicate a digital poppy, please visit the RAF Museum\u2019s online story vault: www.rafmuseumstoryvault.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n The Museum is open daily from 10am and entry to the Museum is FREE of charge.

\n\u201cThe Royal Air Force\u2019s centenary year has been a reminder of the vital role our armed forces personnel have played and still continue to play in all our lives. As the celebrations draw to an end, we invite visitors to join us on Remembrance Sunday for a poignant service so we can remember together. We are delighted to be working in partnership with the RAF, the Station Chaplain and the Cosford Military Wives Choir again this year and I\u2019m confident visitors will enjoy the special service we have planned.\u201d<\/p>\n
