GALLERY: Teddington comes together for annual Remembrance service

Residents of all ages gathered in Teddington yesterday (Sunday, 8 November) for the annual Remembrance Sunday Parade, paying tribute to those who lost their lives in conflict.

Beginning at 10.15am, the parade made its way along Teddington High Street and Broad Street before arriving at the war memorial on Hampton Road for a service at 10.50am.

The procession brought together generations of the local community, with young people from Scouts, Guides, Brownies, Rainbows and Sea Cadets marching alongside representatives of the Royal Navy, Army, RAF and emergency services.

The event was also supported by local councillors, the Royal British Legion, RNLI, Rotary Club, Teddington Society and Park Lane Stables, reflecting the breadth of organisations involved in the town's commemorations.

Following a series of hymns and prayers, wreaths and crosses were laid at the memorial by representatives of local organisations and members of the public, giving the community an opportunity to pay their respects.

The service continued with a reading of the poem In Flanders Fields and a homily delivered by Reverend David Cloake.

Afterwards, refreshments were offered at Teddington Methodist Church and The Cambridge House, bringing the community together following the morning's commemorations.
