The
Rededication of the newly restored Angel War Memorial was carried out on Friday
7th May 2010 by the Rt. Revd. David Rossdale, Bishop of Grimsby, in the presence
of
the Mayor of North Lincolnshire and Consort, together with Armed Forces
Veterans, with Standards being provided by the Royal British Legion and
representatives of other local Military organisations.
Many local
people, some of whom were related to those commemorated on the Monument and who
had helped the “Friends” with
photographs and memorabilia, which so greatly enhance the Book, also came along
to this moving ceremony, which was followed by a Service in the nearby St
George’s Parish Church. A DVD
of the Rededication and
Service was made by a member of a local movie makers’ club in memory of one of
the long serving “Friends” who had
died earlier in 2010, his 90th year! Six pupils from Crosby School each read
out 10 names of those who
are inscribed on the Angel.
