REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY PARADE & SERVICE IN NEWBURY – 10 NOVEMBER 2024

The Remembrance Sunday Parade & Service will be held in Newbury on Sunday 10 November 2024.  The proceedings will commence with the main parade stepping off at 10.30am from Pelican Lane and marching the length of Northbrook Street, turning into Mansion House Street where the Mayor of Newbury, Cllr Andy Moore, will take the salute prior to continuing to the Market Place where the Remembrance Service will take place.

Following the Service of Remembrance in the Market Place, the parade will march past the War Memorial where wreaths will be laid on the way into St Nicolas Church.

There will be a qualified British Sign Language expert in attendance. It is requested that members of the public wishing to be near to the Signer should position themselves in the roadway near to Zizzi to give them a clear view, however signage will also be in place.

Cllr Andy Moore, Mayor of Newbury said, “Our nation and community come together on this day to remember and honour those who have given their lives when serving our country in so many ways; in particular, members of the armed forces. 

It is a poignant and solemn occasion, and I am honoured to be taking the salute on behalf of our Town.  Together with the Royal British Legion, we are pleased to welcome veterans, service men and women, cadet groups and uniformed organisations who will join the parade and the many members of the community who will assemble in the Market Place to attend the Newbury Remembrance ceremony and service."

Service sheets will be available on the day and can also be downloaded here.

Everyone is welcome to attend this event.
