Remembrance is something that belongs to us all, regardless of age or background.
We especially encourage families and younger generations to attend, helping to ensure that the courage, sacrifice and stories of those who served are never forgotten.
For some, this day is deeply personal. It is a time to remember a loved one, a friend, a colleague or a comrade who never returned home.
For others, it is an opportunity to simply stand in silence and say thank you.
Whatever your reason for attending, your presence is valued.
Our sincere thanks to Witham Town Council for their continued collaboration and support in ensuring our town can come together to mark this important occasion with the dignity and respect it deserves.
🌺 We remember those who never came home.
🌺 We honour those who served and sacrificed.
🌺 We stand alongside our veterans, serving personnel and Armed Forces families.
Service Not Self.
We Will Remember Them.
🌺 Lest We Forget. 🌺
