The 93rd Anniversary
Commemoration Service

Each year at 07:30 hours the Friends of Lochnagar hold a short service of remembrance up at the cross.

Here are a few photos from the service in 2009 which turned out to be a chilly and misty morning - but at least the rain stayed off.

After the ceremony poppies are thrown into the wind
