Remembrance Sunday services taking place across the borough

This year Remembrance Day services are being held across Richmond Upon Thames to commemorate and honour those who were lost in WW1 and WW2.

Remembrance Day, also known as Armistice Day, falls on 11 November, with the occasion also marked every year on the second Sunday of November, known as Remembrance Sunday.

With Remembrance Sunday services organised by the Royal British Legion and local Church authorities happening throughout Richmond upon Thames, there will be service near to you where you can go to pay your respects and recognise the service and sacrifice of all those that have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.

The services will be attended by Members of the Council and our Members of Parliament. Residents are invited to join their local commemoration of British and Commonwealth soldiers, sailors, airmen and women as well as the members of the emergency services and civilians to ensure that no-one is forgotten.

Most events will consist of a parade of Armed Forces veterans, civic dignitaries and religious officials followed by a service and two-minute silence at 11am.
