Communities across Camden held two minutes' silence to remember those who lost their lives in conflict.

On Friday (November 11) at 11am, the annual Hampstead Interfaith Remembrance took place at Whitestone Pond. 

An interfaith service was conducted by the Rev Kate Dean of Rosslyn Hill Unitarian Chapel.

The Last Post was sounded by trumpeter Anna Smith of La Swap school, and the Exhortation was given by David Bedford.

Readings and prayers were given by Anthony Ostrin of Hampstead Synagogue, Imam Mehmed Stublla of the Albania Muslin Community, and Rev Graham Dunn of Hampstead Parish Church.

Due to "monsoon-like rains" a few days earlier on November 6, Muswell Hill and Highgate Royal British Legion held their ceremony indoors. 

Branch secretary Chloe Dorigan said they were due to present standards at PC Blakelock's memorial on the broadway and lay a wreath, then meet up with members for a short parade back to their branch but the weather got in the way.

There was also a short service and the laying of wreaths at the POW WWII Memorial in Mornington Crescent.

Mayor of Camden Cllr Nasim Ali said: “During this week’s events and ceremonies we get an opportunity to pause and remember those who lost their lives in conflict as well as those who have been and continue to be affected by war.

“This year we‘ve seen the terrible effects of Russia’s war in Ukraine, which continues to bring devastation to the lives of many people. 

"This serves as a stark reminder of how fragile peace and democracy can be. I am proud of the way our borough has pulled together to offer shelter and support to refugees once again during this crisis.

“I hope many people across Camden, London and the UK will join us in reflection this week and to mark the two-minute silence on Armistice Day.”
