Three Remembrance anthems for #choralevensong including Guest's setting of "For the fallen", the famous poem by Binyon:

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
November 7, 2025 at 4:36 PM
We will remember them.

I paid a visit to @stbrides.com on Fleet Street - the journalists church - earlier today. It's good to sometimes just sit and gather your thoughts a little, especially when you sense you might be struggling.
