REMEMBRANCE 2026 SERVICE AT THE MEMORIAL

A Service of Remembrance will take place at the Memorial at 10.30 (French time) on Sunday 8 November, Remembrance Sunday. The service will be hosted in partnership with the Normandy Branch of the Royal British Legion. All are welcome to attend and to lay a wreath at the conclusion of the service.

This year we particularly remember those Normandy Veterans who have left us in 2026: Ken Hay, Henry Rice, Donald Howkins, Alec Penstone, Gilbert Clarke, John Dennett, Richard Aldred, Stan Ford, John Roberts and Jim Grant. We will always remember them.

Our ceremony will be led by the Rev. John Bridges RN, accompanied by the Rev. Dr Tom Wilson and the Rev. Dr Jonathan Knight and will feature music on the bagpipes as well as a bugler for the Last Post.
 
** The Winston Churchill Centre Café will be open from 9am – 1pm for those who wish to have a cup of coffee or tea to warm up before or after the service. **
