Crowds gathered from 10:20am yesterday (Sunday, 8 November) at Whittaker Avenue to reflect on the lives lost in conflicts past and present during Richmond's annual Remembrance Sunday service.

Organised by the Richmond (Surrey) Branch of the Royal British Legion at the Richmond War Memorial, the ceremony was led by The Revd Robert Stanier accompanied by the choir of St Mary Magdalene, Richmond Team Ministry.

The service drew hundreds of local residents alongside veterans, serving members of the Armed Forces, local cadets, representatives from the emergency services, and community youth groups including the Scouts and Guides.

Local dignitaries and civic leaders were also present to lay wreaths, including Richmond Park MP Sarah Olney and the Mayor of Richmond upon Thames Councillor Nancy Baldwin.

Ahead of the service, the parade procession set off from Park Lane, moving via Little Green, The Green, King Street, and Hill Street before arriving at the War Memorial on Whittaker Avenue.

Following the traditional two-minute silence at 11:00am, the laying of official wreaths, and the reading of prayers, the parade reformed.

Marching bands and contingents made their way down George Street and Duke Street before returning to Park Lane to dismiss.
