  • Remembrance Day 2022

    Published 02/11/22
    Remembrance honours those who serve to defend our democratic freedoms and way of life. We unite across faiths, cultures and backgrounds to remember the service and sacrifice of the Armed Forces community from Britain and the commonwealth.
    The red poppy is a symbol of both Remembrance and hope for a peaceful future.

    Poppies are worn as a show of support for the Armed Forces community. 

    The poppy is a well-known and well-established symbol, one that carries a wealth of history and meaning with it. Wearing a poppy is still a very personal choice, reflecting individual experiences and personal memories. It is never compulsory but is greatly appreciated by those who it is intended to support.
