Remembrance Sunday In Chiswick
Parade to proceed from the Memorial Club to Turnham Green
|
Remembrance Sunday is a very special event in Chiswick bringing people from all walks of life and background together for the Memorial Parade. This year there will be a revised format.
Chiswick War Memorial
On Sunday 10 November, the march will begin at the Memorial Club around 10:30am and arrive at the War Memorial on Turnham Green at 10:45am, where it will be joined by members of Our Lady of Grace RC Church, Christ Church W4 and many others.
There will be a marching band, parade by uniform groups and wreaths laid on behalf of the local MP, the Mayor of Hounslow and many others.
An outdoor ecumenical service lasting from 10:45-11:15am will be led by Rev Richard Moy. The traditional two minute silence will be at 11 am followed by the laying of wreaths. The Mayor will be represented by Councillor Guy Lambert, Cabinet Member Highways, Recycling and Trading Companies, who will lay a wreath on behalf of the council.
The procession will then head back to the Memorial Club for 11:30am.
All members of the community from all faiths and none are warmly invited to simply turn up on the day.
Email the chaplain of the Royal British Legion Chiswick Branch richard.moy@christchurchw4.com if you’d like to be involved in some way.
Services will be held at nine of the War Memorials across the borough on Sunday. The Mayor and Deputy Lieutenant will be attending two events (in Feltham and Hounslow), with fellow councillors representing the Mayor and the council at the remaining five Services.
The Mayor and Deputy Lieutenant are also aiming to attend every RBL Branch or event across the Remembrance Weekend.
Residents are welcome to attend the Services and watch the parades.
