In the morning Tim Lee had been leading a Remembrance commemoration in Ingrave. He used the images that we have seen on our screens of people in Ukraine to reflect with the experiences of those who had endured the two World wars. This included the anguish of those whose loved ones did not return and are named on the War Memorials and those who went to fight and would have carried the memories for ever. He spoke about the importance of continuing to remember all that happened.
The annual Remembrance Day Parade in Brentwood is on Sunday 13th of November at 10.30, stating at the Town hall. The parade will be headed by the Brentwood Imperial Youth Band.
In Billericay there is an Act of Worship at Emmanuel Church at 9.14 with members of the Army Cadet Force and Royal Air Cadets.
The Act of Remembrance at the War Memorial in the High Street begins at 10.50. Music is provided by the High Voltage Big Band.
