Residents of Charnwood are invited to honour those who served and sacrificed themselves in the line of duty this Remembrance Sunday.
The Remembrance Sunday service will take place on Sunday, 10 November 2024 at the Carillon Tower War Memorial in Queen's Park, Loughborough.
This year’s Remembrance Sunday Parade will start from the Market Place at 10.20am and make its way through the town centre and to the Carillon, where the service will start at 10.50am.
The service will be led by The Reverend Elizabeth York, Lead Chaplain, Loughborough University, Chaplain to Royal British Legion, Loughborough Branch, and The Right Reverend Saju Muthalaly, Bishop of Loughborough.

People are being encouraged to share their thoughts and pictures about Remembrance events. Look for the hashtag #CharnwoodRemembers or tag us in on Facebook.
To prevent a build-up people trying to access Queen’s Park through the New Street gates following the parade, the gates will be closed at 10.30am to the public to enable the Civic Party and Community wreath layers to process into the park. It is advisable for the public to access the park through other gates on Granby Street, or Browns Lane.

Granby Street car park will be closed on the morning of Remembrance Sunday. People attending and taking part in the parade are encouraged to park in Beehive Lane multi storey car park which is 60p on Sundays. Loughborough Leisure Centre car park, Browns Lane, is for leisure centre users only.
