A short service of remembrance, led by a chaplain, was held at Christchurch Tower in the Garden of Remembrance, Sandgate road, Folkestone. Touchingly, the Methodist congregation from across the road came out to join the service.
In honour of William Harvey Day, to celebrate the life and achievements of one of Folkestone's most famous sons, it was a great pleasure to meet the representatives from the Harvarian Society, most of whom were members of the Royal College of Physicians.
The William Harvey Day service on Sunday afternoon began with a robed procession to the newly cleaned William Harvey Statue close to the Leas Cliff Hall, where a chaplain conducted a short service. The statue has been cleaned by Folkestone Town Council after taking over responsibility for the statue from Shepway District Council - and it looks really good!
At the regular Sandgate Farmers Market this Saturday June 5th from 10am-noon at The Chichester Memorial Hall, Sandgate, the stallholders include:
Around 2 million adults in the United Kingdom have responded to a scam mailing in the last year, around half of those scammed have lost more than £50 in total, others have lost more than £5,000. Many of these people receive further contact from the criminals being then asked for even more money and or for personal information. Over £3 billion is lost to scammers each year and it is of growing concern.
