A beacon has been kindly made available by James Maybury of the General Store,and the intention is to light the beacon on Wednesday 5th June at Selkirk War Memorial between 9:30pm - 10:30pm.

James designed these beacons for the national commemorations. Public will not be allowed close to the beacon.

The sunset on 5th June, 80 years ago, would have been the last for thousands, including many Borderers.

''At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.'' Lest We Forget!
