Quakers up and down the country marked the centenary of the end of world war one with a range of peace-affirming vigils and events. From street theatre to art work, Friends commemorated the Armistice while reaffirming their commitment to a more peaceful world. Huddersfield Quakers said they were upholding local Friend Ian Bray as he walked under the banner ‘Never Again’ with Veterans for Peace members and military veterans from around the world to a ceremony of remembrance at the Cenotaph in London.
