📚 Lest We Forget.
“They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them”
Lawrence Binyon

At the recent funeral of Lion Tom Peacock, many Lions attended the service and were proud to form a guard of honour for him. Tom was a member of Darlington Lions Club for nearly 60 years and supported Lionism throughout his life. He will be greatly missed.
