August 4 is the centenary of the start of the Great War. On the eve of the conflict, Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey spoke the famous words: "The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime."
This has inspired tonight's event in which people are invited to light a votive candle and spend an hour remembering our ancestors who died in WWI.
