New Remembrance Banners Installed
Date Added: 13/10/2021
Sandy Town Council, the Royal British Legion Sandy & District Branch and St Swithun’s Parish Church are glad to share that we will be able to invite people across the town to come together again and participate in a communal act of Remembrance this year.
As Remembrance is always so well supported by our community, with hundreds of people taking part, the decision has been made to run the 2021 Parade and Service entirely outdoors. Following the traditional parade, the Remembrance Service will be held in the open-air of the Market Square, allowing everyone to participate in a covid-safe environment.
Today, one month before Armistice Day, the Council has had 9 Remembrance banners hung on lampposts along the High Street. The banners were funded by a government grant and will be displayed throughout the lead up to Remembrance Sunday, on 14th November. Bearing the message 'Lest we forget', the banners represent the town's commitment to remembering and honouring all those who serve to defend our democratic freedoms and way of life.
More details on the Remembrance Sunday Parade and Service will be shared soon.
