Remembrance Sunday Service at St Mary the Virgin, Upchurch
The annual Service of Remembrance begins at 10:15am on Sunday the 10th of November, in the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Upchurch.
The young people of the uniformed sections and their leaders will make their parade from the Scout HQ on the Recreation Ground in Oak Lane to the church.
Leaving around 9:45am, they will march (accompanied by marshals) along Oak Lane and return after the service. Please be patient during this time.
If you need to drive through the village centre during their parades, please use Church Farm Road and Chaffes Lane instead. Thank you.
Wreaths will be laid at the internal war memorial in the Lady Chapel, and after the service, crosses will be laid at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission graves in the churchyard.
Upchurch Parish Council will send a wreath on behalf of all Upchurch residents to our twinned village of Ferques in France for laying at their service.
All are welcome to come and join us as we remember those from our village who died during times of war.
LEST WE FORGET
