Remembrance Day will be back to normal this year and we look forward to welcoming you to the event. After the service is completed and the wreaths laid, the Oatlands Pipe Band will lead our parade down New Zealand Avenue, through the Heart and up into the High Street. Check out the images below for 2019 to see how brilliantly our town comes together to mark this historic occasion.
Join us to commemorate 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.

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.
