Remembrance Day 2007
The Friends of the British Cemetery held its annual ceremony in the British Cemetery on Sunday 11th November. More than fifty Portuguese, Spanish and British Friends of the British Cemetery gathered in the Cemetery at 10h45 and observed the Silence at the eleventh hour.
Afterwards, and thanks to the kindness of Henrique and Marivi Gonçalves, a light lunch was served at the Monte da Gramicha, the estate chosen by Wellington as his Headquarters in May-June 1811.
More than €500.00 was raised at the benefit-luncheon for the restoration of the Chapel of S. João da Corujeira adjoining the British Cemetery. For more information: Stage II
