title Remembrance Sunday with the GSB, Brome and Botesdale, Suffolk - 10th November 2024 intro Steve Andrews - co-organiser of the memorial to B-17 Pathfinder aircraft that crashed in the side field 81 years ago to the day - invites us over to the Oaksmere for a short service of remembrance as a follow-up to last year's unveiling. This year, two more relatives of one of the East Suffolk County Council workers that were killed on the ground when the plane crashed were there, having seen last year's event on television and getting in touch. There's also the first showing of some artwork which will be used to create a second marble panel for the plinth and which is based on a picture of the pilot, 1st Lieutenant Arthur Reynolds, and some of Clive's own USAAF flying gear. Later on, Nosher and Fred are playing in the Gislingham Silver Band at another remembrance service - this time over at Botesdale, a few miles down the road. The day before all of this, there are some reasonably good fireworks - and a massive bonfire - courtesy of Frank Davey civil engineers, which is holding a display for its staff across the field. imgp7835 Frank Davey's got a massive bonfire going on imgp7873 More impressive fireworks over Frank Davey imgp7880 Steve Andrews does an introduction imgp7882 Clive reads from a posthumous pilot's book imgp7886 A group of relatives and friends imgp7888 Relatives of the council workers by the memorial imgp7896 Chatting after the service imgp7898 Isobel chats with Suzanne and Clive imgp7901 A local artist introduces his pilot drawing imgp7908 Steve chats to the artist of the new panel imgp7914 Steve flicks through a book imgp7924 Milling around after the service imgp7927 Isobel and Suzanne in the Oaksmere bar imgp7934 The memorial is quiet again imgp7937 Fred spots a cyclops grub in some logs imgp7945 Lucy - the one-eyed cat - roams around imgp7948 Botesdale's High Street imgp7949 Some of the band pile out of the Greyhound pub imgp7951 We assemble by the war memorial imgp7952 Fred tries to warm his flute up imgp7954 The band outside the Chilvers building imgp7959 Botesdale war memorial in the low sun imgp7960 A band banner is pegged down imgp7962 There's quite a good turnout imgp7964 Adrian chats to an organiser
