We are not sure how the flowers ended up on our sundial in the meeting house garden but they do seem to symbolise hope and peace.

A group of Quakers & non Quakers joined together to lay our White Poppy Wreath at the War Memorial on Angel Hill, Bury St.Edmunds on Sunday. We followed the more elaborate “official” ceremony but believe that our powerful silence & worship also made an impact @PPUtoday

Today people are resisting #ArmedForcesDay2024 across the UK.

We've been highlighting what's wrong with #ArmedForcesDay. Don't buy the hype!

#ArmedForcesDay normalises militarism and sees young children being given weapons to play with.
