The morning service commenced with a performance of The Last Post by trumpeter Lucas Houldcroft, followed by two minutes of silence. Rev Kate Dean, the chapel's minister, led the service. She stated that the event was an honour, serving not only to remember those who have fallen but also to encourage individuals to consider changes in their relationships to foster greater peace in the world. The service featured readings from Buddhist, Jewish, and Islamic traditions, alongside musical performances by the choir. For those unable to attend in person, the service was also streamed online.
Community Activities and Future Plans
Following the service, the chapel hosted its regular low-cost community lunch club, designed to facilitate neighbourly connections over a shared meal and combat loneliness. After lunch, participants engaged in a banner-making workshop titled Quiet Activism: Peace and Friendship Banner-making. The completed banner is scheduled to be displayed at the JW3 Centre on November 22 as part of Mitzvah Day events. The day concluded with a sound bath meditation led by Azzurra Nonni.
