They shall grow not 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.

From For the Fallen

by Laurence Binyon

The beacon at Blackdown near Okehampton Camp will be lit at 7pm after a bugler sounds the Last Post at 6.55pm.
