Pay your respects at the Remembrance Sunday Parade

This Remembrance Sunday, residents and community leaders across Brent will come together to honour those who fought and lost their lives in the war.

All are invited to pay their respects at the Borough’s Civic Remembrance Service in Barham Park on Sunday 13 November.

The service will begin at 1.50pm with a parade headed by the Regent Brass Band with community groups such as the Army, Navy, Air Force and Sea Cadets, as well as St John’s Ambulance, joining in too. Coming to a stop at the memorial site, the parade will end with a general salute before the service begins. 

Dean of Brent, Fr Andrew Teather will lead tributes during the service and winners of the Deputy Lieutenant’s Prize Essay Competition will have the opportunity to read their compositions.

Throughout the service, groups and leaders across Brent will lay wreaths to pay their respects to the fallen. This will include the Mayor of Brent, local MPs, The Jewish Military Association, the London Assembly Member for Brent and Harrow and The British Legion. 

You can buy a poppy from the Royal British Legion website, or look out for poppy stalls at your local supermarkets or train stations. The money raised goes towards providing ongoing support to the Armed Forces community, supporting them in the face of hardships, injuries and bereavements.
