Tim Boswell sits in

With stories for Remembrance Sunday from Thame and Cowleaze Woods near Christmas Common. Plus how churches helping to plug the children's centres gap and operation shoebox.

On Remembrance Sunday, how the people of Thame managed to persuade the Queen Mary II to change route across the Atlantic, to commemorate a navy officer. We hear the story of the Halifax Bomber which crashed into Cowleaze Woods near Christmas Common in 1944, and plans to ensure the 51 Squadron RAF memorial there is not forgotten. Plus how Oxfordshire's churches are trying to fill the void left by the County Council's decision to shut children's centres and how Christmas shopping starts now as operation shoebox kicks into gear, sending almost a million gifts to children around the world.
