BREXIT uncertainty hasn't stopped a Herefordshire village from maintaining their relationship with a French town as they came together to remember those who lost their lives in the First World War.

Eardisland's twinning arrangement with La Vieille Lyre in Normandy, France, saw soldiers of the First World War remembered during their four day visit to Herefordshire.

The French group were guests of the Eardisland Twinning Association and included Robert Mille, the Birmingham-based French Consul who went to unveil a plaque dedicated to La Vieille's 20 fallen Great War soldiers.

The memorial was placed on the garden wall of Eardisland's Dovecote in a tranquil place facing the millstream. A second plaque bearing the names of Eardisland's 13 fallen soldiers will be mounted close to La Vielle's War Memorial in the near future.

Eardisland Memorial Walks and the Dovecote Trust played a part in bringing the joint remembrance occasion about. Brigadier Richard Kirby, an Eardisland resident and Parish Councillor, welcomed all present and spoke of ties forged in the War between British and French forces.

Eardisland's church bell rang as the names of the fallen were read, and the Consul unveiled a French tricolour from the plaque.
