The procession forms
 
Today in Epeigné, as all over France, there was the ceremony to remember the village's war dead. In the UK we have Remembrance Day on the 11th November but don't specially mark the end of the Second World War in Europe. 

 Before the war memorial  listening to the Maire's speech
Michel Mergot, the current Maire, and Jacky Marchau, his predecessor

Beforehand:

Bloody flat packs – they never give you proper instructions!
Thank goodness the flag's sorted!
