Remembrance Sunday listings for Weybridge and Oatlands

Posted by Rupert Basham on Nov 2, 09 05:04 PM in Good Causes

Residents in Elmbridge will be commemorating Remembrance Sunday on November 8.

A full day of events is taking place across the borough to help raise money for the British Legion's annual poppy appeal.

The first official Legion poppy day was held in Britain on November 11, 1921 inspired by the poem 'Flanders' Fields' written by John McCrae.

After the fighting in World War One in the Flanders and Picardy regions of Belgium and Northern France, the poppy was the only thing which grew in the aftermath.

In Weybridge a wreath will be laid at the war memorial in Queens Road at 2.30pm.

Following the wreath laying a service will be held at St James' Church, in Church Street.

In Oatlands,a 10am service will be start at The Shrine in Oatlands Drive.

We'd like to hear from you.
