Flora’s Remembrance Service @ Dalton Parish Church

One of the very important things to me in my journey to bring Flora home, was to host a Memorial Service at her family Parish Church in Dalton.

The Memorial Service we organised on the anniversary of her passing in JUly grew too big to be hosted in this stunning little church, so I avowed to bring a version of it to her own local congregation,, which we did as part of Armistice Day Remembrance Services.

In keeping with our event in July, my Dr Flora Murray Appreciation Society comrade Tracey Little and I organised and hosted the event, with speeches from Lord Lieutenant Fiona Armstrong, Factor of the Church Andrew Morton who also performed, as did local queer female piper Lani O’Neil, giving us another haunting presence to proceedings, and local queer accordianist Lee McQueen performed his special piece created in memory of Flora.

The congregation hosted us afterwards with some tea and glorious homemade cake.
