Remembrance Sunday - November 8th 2020

This year has been exceptional for all of us with lives affected in so many ways. One of those ways is cancellation of events with crowds and, of course, the total lockdown. This has unfortunately affected Remembrance Sunday 2020. 

Rev. Blair held a virtual Remembrance Ceremony at Walton War Memorial.
​
We 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.

Following social distancing guidelines, six wreaths were laid at the Walton War Memorial.

Royal British Legion - wreath laid by Cllr Christine Richardson, official Legion Representative for Walton-on-Thames.
Elmbridge Borough Council - wreath laid by  Councillor Andrew Kelly.
Surrey County Council - wreath laid by  Surrey & Elmbridge Cllr Rachael Lake.
Sunbury and Walton Sea Cadet Corps - wreath laid by  PO John Ball.
Surrey Army Cadet Corp; Walton Detachment - wreath laid by Sgt Hannah McCaully.
The Churches of St Mary & St, John - wreath laid by Rev. Jonny Blair on behalf of all the churches across the town.

                                        -----------------

Later in the day, members of the public were invited to the War Memorial to lay a wreath or take a moment of remembrance. Please remain in a household group and incorporate the visit into your daily outside exercise. If someone else is at the Memorial, please wait for them to finish and move away.  

As at 11am on Monday November 9th, these organisations had laid a wreath:
Royal British Legion, Elmbridge Borough Council, Surrey County Council, Sunbury & Walton Sea Cadet Corps, Surrey Army cadet Corps: Walton Detachment, The Churches of Walton-on-Thames, Surrey Fire & Rescue Service, Walton Conservative Club, Walton District Girl Guides,  The Probus Club of Walton & District, Oatlands Park Pipe Band, Walton-on-Thames Lodge No. 6348, Walton-on-Thames Women's Institute. 1st Walton (St. Marys) Brownies had installed the outline of at 1914-18 soldier. 

 
Our gallery below shows pictures of the service and the ever increasing number of wreaths from local organisations.
You can see a recording of the short service here.

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.
