Sandy Remembrance Parade and Service: Sunday 14th November 2021
Date Added: 10/11/2021
Sandy Town Council, the Royal British Legion Sandy & District Branch and St Swithun’s Parish Church are glad to invite people across the town to come together again to honour all those who served and made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, as we resume our annual Remembrance parade and service on Sunday 14th November.
As Remembrance is always so well supported by our community, with hundreds of people taking part, the decision has been made to run this year’s event entirely outdoors, with an open-air service in Sandy Market Square, allowing everyone to participate in a covid-safe environment. We would ask anyone who is experiencing COVID-19 symptoms; has been told to self-isolate; or has tested positive in the last 10 days, to please not attend either the parade or service.
