On Sunday 12th November, the Northwich Town Council will hold the annual Remembrance Parade in partnership with the Royal British Legion and St Helens Church. This is a time for the community to pay respects to all those who have served and lost their lives for our country.
The parade will commence at 9.50am from Crum Hill, turning left onto Chester Way and then into Church Road through the Lych Gates. This will be followed by a Church Service at St Helens Church, led by Reverend Andrew Ridley, which will begin at 10.15am. The service will be a time for quiet reflection and to pay tribute to our fallen heroes.
After the service, the parade will turn left and those not laying a wreath will make their way to the cenotaph along Church Road. Wreath Layers will be directed by NTC staff to stand in front of the cenotaph and wait to be called to lay their wreath. This is a poignant and important moment, marking the laying of wreaths in memory of those who served and sacrificed their lives.
Once the Act of Remembrance has taken place, the parade will reform and march back to Chester Way where the Mayor will take the salute. This is a time to show appreciation for the service and sacrifice of those who have protected our country.
Finally, the parade will fall out at the back of Brio, bringing the event to a close.
This Remembrance Parade is a way for us to come together as a community, to honour and remember those who have served our country and to express our gratitude to them. We hope to see you there to join us in this important moment of remembrance.
Lest we forget.
