Remembrance Thanksgiving and Dedication
Residents are invited to attend the annual Thanksgiving and Dedication Service, and Remembrance Sunday parade and wreath laying in Royal Tunbridge Wells.
The service begins at approximately 10.50am on Sunday 8 November at the War Memorial, Mount Pleasant Road.
The service provides an opportunity for the community to come together to reflect, remember and give thanks for the service and sacrifice of members of the Armed Forces, past and present.
Members of the public are welcome to attend. Veterans and serving personnel are particularly welcome, and those with medals are invited to wear them and join the parade.
The Remembrance Sunday parade and service are organised by the Tunbridge Wells Branch of The Royal British Legion and supported by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council.
The service will be amplified and livestreamed on the our website and YouTube channel.
