The Christmas service of the women's section of the Royal British Legion takes place at St Andrew's Church at The Stow. I arrive just in time to slip into a row of seats at the back of the church before the entry of the Standards.
It's a traditional service of lessons and carols, with the MP reading the first lesson, and the minister, Rev Jim Gill, reading the last. The secretary, Elsie, reads a couple of seasonal poems that have everyone chuckling wryly. Then after a concluding carol and the retiring of the Standards, we move into the church hall for a cup of tea and a chat.
