Newquay Lions Remembers – Remembrance Sunday
Sixteen members of Newquay Towan Blystra Lions, together with friends, joined the town’s Remembrance parade and service to honour those who gave their lives in service to their country.
Joined by fellow Lions and friends from neighbouring Newquay Lions, almost 30 Lions proudly paraded through the town behind the Standards of both clubs, showing their respect and paying tribute to the fallen.
District Governor and club member Phil Bunt, accompanied by one of his grandsons, laid a wreath at Newquay’s War Memorial on behalf of Newquay Towan Blystra Lions. This was a particularly poignant moment, bringing generations together in remembrance and highlighting the importance of passing on the significance of this annual act of respect.
Following the service, many of the Towan Blystra Lions gathered at The Oceanside to enjoy a traditional roast dinner, sharing friendship, conversation and good company – all an important part of being a Lion.
We will remember them.
