Remembrance Day Parade and Service in Fareham

Fareham Borough Council is proud to announce that the Annual Remembrance Day Parade will take place on Sunday 10 November at Holy Trinity Church.

A ‘Forever Remembered’ ceremony will take place at the war memorial, Holy Trinity Church at 9.45am, where the names of those from the Fareham area, who lost their lives as serving members in British Armed Forces' conflicts, will be read out

The Parade will then step off at 10.40am from the Duke of Connaught's Own Club in Western Road, making its way along Kings Road and West Street, before arriving at the war memorial, where a two-minute silence will be observed at 11.00am. Following this will be the wreath laying ceremony and church service.

The Mayor of Fareham, Councillor Pal Hayre, said:

"The annual service commemorating British service members who have lost their lives in wars and other military conflicts is an important occasion. I do hope that the residents of Fareham will join us in paying respects to the servicemen and women who served our nation so bravely.”

HMS Collingwood, in partnership with the Royal British Legion, has the honour of leading the Remembrance Parade to the Memorial. The Commanding Officer of HMS Collingwood will be attending the parade with HMS Collingwood's Volunteer Band and Platoons.
