This November, communities across the London Borough of Redbridge will come together to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country.
A series of Remembrance Day parades and services will be held throughout the borough, offering residents a poignant opportunity to stand united in reflection and gratitude.
Remembrance Day, observed annually across Commonwealth nations since the end of the First World War, is a solemn occasion dedicated to commemorating members of the armed forces who gave their lives in the line of duty. Also known as Poppy Day, the tradition serves as a powerful symbol of our collective remembrance.
