In association with The Last Post, a mass participation project that will see communities across the UK playing the Last Post on a variety of instruments to remember those who died in the First World War, Stape Silver Band has organised a free night of entertainment on Thursday, November 13, at St Peter and St Paul’s Church, in Pickering.

As well as music from the band, Beth Breckon and guest artist Rachel Anderson will sing songs from the wartime period.

The event, which starts at 7pm, will be introduced by local historian Trevor Boag, who is an expert on this period and will be giving readings and poems.

Beck Isle Museum is also providing a display depicting local families’ involvement in the war.

Refreshments will be served at the end of the concert and there will also be a raffle.

All proceeds will go to the Royal British Legion
