Honouring the War Dead

Members and friends are most welcome to join veterans and local Hounslow dignitaries on Armistice Day on Friday 11th November and on Remembrance Sunday, to remember those who lost their lives in the two world wars and more recent conflicts.

On Friday, the council’s Service of Remembrance will take place in Hounslow High Street, outside Holy Trinity Church.

The event will include a military parade from 10.30am which will include The Irish Guards, Ghurkha Veterans, local cadet forces, Royal British Legion and the Asian Elders.

The parade will finish up outside the church where the service will take place, incorporating a two minute silence at 11am.

On Remembrance Sunday, there will be a short service at 10.30am at Brentford Memorial outside Brentford Library, attended by Councillor Melvin Collins.

David O’Connor will attend both events as President of Brentford Chamber of Commerce and will lay a wreath at Brentford Memorial.

Services are taking place across the borough and serving military personnel, cubs, scouts and guides will parade their colours alongside veterans, who will lay wreaths in memory of fallen friends.
