Remembrance Sunday at St. John’s Church to Honour British soldiers

HYDERABAD: The British High Commission will observe Remembrance Sunday this weekend at the Church of St John the Baptist in Secunderabad. Built in 1813 for British Army personnel serving here, the church holds historical value due to its association with several British military engagements and memorials from the Second World War. British deputy high commissioner Gareth Wynn Owen will attend the special service, which will feature the traditional sounding of ‘The Last Post’ by buglers to honour the fallen. "The church committee and representatives from the high commission are working on the programmes and the service, which will take place this Sunday morning," said church secretary Mesa James Yesudas Samuel.
