People from surrounding counties converged on the Datchet to attend the village's centenary Remembrance Day service on Sunday.

Church warden Elaine Eastham said: "I got one call from a man in Herefordshire as well as others from people who had had grandparents or relatives with a connection to the village who had been lost in the war.

"We had 520 people in the church."

Many had to stand inside St Mary's Church as there was only room for 380 seats but no-one minded.

Reverend Robert Spicer officiated at the service which began with the village's uniformed organisations presenting their colours. After the service the procession headed down to the War Memorial on the Village Green where the various organisations laid their wreaths.

The memorial had had 11 new names added to it in the days leading up to the ceremony, after Datchet Village Society researchers found out about them.

The Datchet sea scouts, the scouts, cubs, brownies and beavers as well as the village's four schools provided representatives of the younger generation in the procession. Parish Councillors, the Mothers Union, Datchet Village Society and representatives from the armed services and the police also took part.
