Local MOTHS celebrates Remembrance Day

The event kicked off at 11:00 with a fly-pass by three civilian aircrafts, piloted by Kobie Roux, Martin Erasmus and JJ Cronjé with one of the aircraft breaking away from the formation to symbolise the fallen soldier who leaves behind his comrades.

This was followed by script reading and a prayer by Rev Matie Horn.

The choir of Pietersburg Laerskool entertained guests with a song and Janie Wierenga recited a poem, 'In Flanders' Fields'.

Son of former 'Old Bill' of the shellhole, Frank Ireland Mockford, Bryan Mockford addressed guests and was followed by deputy provincial police commissioner: visible policing and special operations, Maj Gen Jan Scheepers, who delivered the keynote address.

Tyd is 'n kommoditeit waaroor almal beskik, al voel dit soms asof dit eenvoudig nooit genoeg is nie. Tog kan elkeen iewers 'n paar minute afknyp om iemand in nood te help. Vir party mense is tyd juis die grootste geskenk wat hulle kan aanbied.
