Remembrance at Thimbleby after three decades
A particularly welcome member of the congregation was 101-year-old Victor Bolton, wearing the medals awarded for his service in the RAF.
Life in the village at the start of World War One, particularly for the Crowder family, was portrayed in the recent film Tell Them of Us, with the altar draped with a quilt made from fragments of the costumes worn during filming.
