Remembrance 2023

Residents of Charnwood were invited to honour those who served and sacrificed themselves in the line of duty on Remembrance Sunday.

The Remembrance Sunday service took place on Sunday November 12, 2023 at the Carillon Tower War Memorial in Queen's Park, Loughborough.

This year’s Remembrance Sunday Parade started from the Market Place at 10.20am and made its way through the town centre and to the Carillon, where the service began at 10.50am.

The service was led by The Reverend Elizabeth York, Acting Chaplain to the Royal British Legion, Loughborough Branch and Chaplain to the Loughborough Schools Foundation, and The Right Reverend Saju Muthalaly, Bishop of Loughborough.

Charnwood Borough Council live-streamed the the service and provided updates on social media.
