Armistice Day marked at the RUH
Staff and patients came together at the Royal United Hospitals (RUH) Bath NHS Foundation Trust today (Wednesday 11 November) to mark Armistice Day.
They remembered all those who have served and continue to serve in the Armed Forces, and everyone whose lives have been affected by conflict.
The service took place in the hospital's Spiritual Care Centre, and included a two-minute silence, readings, the laying of a wreath and the Last Post.
The service was led by Lead Chaplain Narinder Tegally and Team Chaplain Rachel Woods.
Managing Director John Palmer read 'A Reading for Peace' and Iain Hunter-White, Staff Engagement Facilitator and Talent Acquisition Team Leader read 'The Peace We Make'. The Last Post was played by Dr Joe Barron-Snowdon and the wreath was laid by Paul von der Heyde, Chair of BSW Hospitals Group.
The service was broadcast live and is available to view on the RUH's Facebook page.
