On Friday 15th August 2025, The Lord-Lieutenant, Mrs Susie Sheldon, attended a Commemoration Service for the Burma Star Association held at St George’s Church in Arreton. She read the first lesson from the Old Testament. A poignant tribute was given by Dr J Sichel. His late father was captured at the fall of Singapore in February 1942 and survived captivity until August 1945.
An act of Remembrance was held in front of the Burma Star stained glass window with the laying of bright yellow fresh flowers and poppy wreaths.
