Over 450 came to see the beautiful and moving 'Up The Line' event to mark Armistice Day. The feedback received has been incredible and organiser Johm McKiernan enthused "we managed to create an amazing evening that achieved its goal of encouraging people to consider the sacrifice and suffering of World War One." He went on to say "I would like to pay tribute to all the people who worked so hard during the lead up to the day and on the day, sometimes in terrible weather, to make this happen and the many volunteers who stood, lifted, printed, blogged and much more to make the event happen." You can more about the event in an interview with Johm McKiernan on Brockley Central
