A capacity audience gathered in Marlow last night to hear a former BBC presenter host a special remembrance event for World War One.

Marlow resident Paul Burden replayed recordings he made in the late 1980s of senior Marlovians who had poignant memories of the war.

The audiovisual presentation included pictures of the former residents on a big screen to accompany the recordings.

Among the rare pictures, some never published, was a powerful image exactly a hundred years old showing a battalion of troops marching up the High Street, en route from the railway station to their training camp at Bovingdon Green.

The evening at the Assembly Rooms on Tuesday was staged for Marlow Remembers World War One group, which is holding numerous events and workshops during the war centenary.
