Residents in Chiswick will have two opportunities to mark Remembrance Sunday this year as ceremonies take place in both on Turnham Green and Bedford Park on 8 November.
The main civic commemoration will begin at the Chiswick Memorial Club in Bourne Place, where participants are invited to gather from 10am. The parade will leave at 10.40am and make its way to the Chiswick Town Centre Cenotaph for the annual service of remembrance. Refreshments will be available afterwards at the Memorial Club.
The ceremony will be attended by Rosi Prescott, Deputy Lieutenant of Greater London, the Mayor of Hounslow, Cllr Ranjit Gill, and Chiswick Homefields councillor Cllr Jack Emsley.
Meanwhile, a separate ceremony will take place in Bedford Park. A Choral Requiem Mass will be held at St Michael & All Angels Church at 9.55am, after which the choir, clergy and congregation will process to the Bedford Park Memorial outside the church opposite Acton Green. The service will include the Last Post and the traditional two-minute silence at 11am.
Other local churches will be marking the day with special commemorative services.
The commemorations form part of Remembrance Sunday events taking place across the country, providing an opportunity for communities to honour those who have served and sacrificed in conflicts past and present.
Residents will also be invited to observe the national two-minute silence on Armistice Day, Wednesday 11 November, at 11am.
