A variety of events took place to mark the Remembrance season, several of them focussing very strongly on Peace.

On Saturday 8th November from 5pm there was a Peace Walk from Roupell Park estate to Tulse Hill estate - in torrential rain! - and then a Peace Gathering of more than 50 people in the Jubilee Hall with welcome hot soup, peace messages, songs, candles and refreshments. All the result of an initiative by Revd Richard Dormandy, Vicar of Holy Trnity Tulse Hill.
