Remembrance Sunday - November 14th 2021
Picture

​Remembrance Day was back to normal this year and we were delighted to see a large crowd to join in this act of remembrance.

We commemorated the end of the Great War and those brave men and women from across Surrey who, in two World Wars and subsequent conflicts, gave their lives for those freedoms we enjoy today.

After the service, two minute silence and laying of wreaths, 
the Oatlands Pipe Band lead our parade down New Zealand Avenue, through the Heart and up into the High Street. Check out the images below to see how brilliantly our town came together to mark this historic occasion.

Download the Order of Service.

We'd like to thank the team from Wotta (all volunteer local residents) who helped organise the smooth running of the event as well as all participants.

Many thanks to our sponsors for 2021:

Walton-on-Thames Remembrance Day - Sunday November 10th 2019.
.Preparations   
Volunteers arrived well ahead of the event to ensure that all the arrangements were perfect for those attending the service.
The Service
On a glorious sunny autumn morning,residents gathered to mark Remembrance Sunday.. The crowd , standing 15 deep in some places was well over 2,000 strong
​Wreaths were laid representing various local groups including the Police, Surrey Fire & Rescue, the RAF, the WI and the Rotary, Elmbridge Borough Council, Sea Cadets, Army Cadets and Air Corp. Our local Girl Guides, Scouts, Cubs & Beavers were also present.. 
Our short videos of the service and wreath laying give a sense of the occasion.
Parade
After the service, representatives of many organisations quickly formed up ready to march through Walton-on-Thames. The Oatlands Park Pipe Band lead the procession around the town in great style while the crowds lined the route.. After passing the War Memorial, the route took marchers down New Zealand Avenue, through The Heart Shopping Centre and out to the High Street.
 It really was a day to Remember.

Our video shows the parade setting off on its journey around the centre of Walton-on-Thames.
