🫡 LEIGH REMEMBRANCE DAY PARADE & SERVICE 2026 🫡
❤️ WE WILL REMEMBER THEM. WE WILL HONOUR THEM. WE WILL NEVER FORGET THEM. ❤️
There are some days in the year when our community comes together for something far greater than ourselves.
Remembrance Sunday is one of those days. 🌺
A day when we stand shoulder to shoulder, not just as veterans, families, friends and neighbours, but as one united community.
A day when we remember those who marched before us, those who stood beside us, and those who never made it home.
A day when we remember the courage, sacrifice and selflessness of the men and women who gave so much so that future generations could live in freedom.
📅 Sunday 8th November 2026
📍 Leigh Cenotaph
🕥 Remembrance Service — 10:45am
FOR VETERANS WISHING TO MARCH:
🕙 Meet at 10:15am on St Mary's Way, between Leigh Library and the Church.
🇬🇧 The parade will form up and set off at approximately 10:30am, marching together to Leigh Cenotaph.
FOR THOSE NOT MARCHING:
Please make your way directly to Leigh Cenotaph from 10:30am onwards to join the community in paying our respects.
Parade timings are approximate and may be subject to minor changes.
Following the service, the parade will march back towards St Mary's Way, with the salute taking place at the front of the Library Square, near the bus stops, before the parade falls out.
🇬🇧 ALL VETERANS, FAMILIES, FRIENDS & SUPPORTERS ARE WELCOME TO JOIN US AT THE ELLESMERE SUITE AFTER THE SERVICE.
Once the formal commemorations have finished, we would love you to join us for some well-deserved friendship, conversation, nibbles and refreshments, kindly provided by the Leigh RBL Branch and The Leigh FOB CIC.
Because Remembrance isn't just about looking back.
It's also about looking after those who are still standing beside us today. ❤️
It's about the veteran who hasn't seen an old comrade in years.
It's about the widow or family member who wants to remember someone special.
It's about the young cadet learning what service, sacrifice and remembrance truly mean.
And it's about reminding every veteran that although the uniform may have come off, the brotherhood and sisterhood never end.
🌺 AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN AND IN THE MORNING, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
LEST WE FORGET. 🌺
