THE COMMUNITY OF CHAFFORD gathered at Warren primary school to pay tribute to all those who had fallen during two world wars and many other conflicts.
Organised by South Chafford councillors, Tunde Ojetola and Charlie Key, the memorial took the form of a parade from the Warren to Kershaw Close, where there is a memorial to 2nd Lt Samuel E Kershaw whose plane crashed there on February 21st 1945.
The parade, led by the mayor, cllr Yash Gupta and Thurrock MP, Jackie Doyle-Price was met by Chafford Hundred Community Church pastor, David Bareham and the Thurrock Spectrum Brass.
Mr Bareham led those gathered in song and recital.
Afterwards, the community returned to Warren primary where a buffet supplied by Sainsburys was provided.

you could have joined in the ceremony at the grays war memorial,but no,this is snobby chafford hundred.
No, this was not "snobby Chafford Hundred". As a 74 year old who witnessed the plane crashing on my way home from school, I travelled from Stanford-le-Hope to remember that incident and the pilot who died in the crash along with the many others who gave their lives for fools such as you.
they could have gone down to the war memorial in grays with everybody else and remembered all of thurrocks heroes.
