Bridgend Town Council is co-ordinating two Remembrance events to commemorate the military and civilian servicemen and women from Britain and across the Commonwealth, who lost their lives in the two World Wars and later conflicts.
A Children & Family Remembrance Parade and Service will take place on Saturday 9th November. This event is arranged specifically for younger children and families and will provide an opportunity for primary school aged children to learn about the importance of Remembrance. Children will actively participate in the event by gathering at the top of Wyndham Street from 10.20am in readiness to march to the War Memorial in Dunraven Place, where Reverend Rachel Wheeler will conduct a short Remembrance Service. This service will take place irrespective of weather conditions (unless adverse weather deems the event dangerous). We ask that those attending dress appropriately for the weather conditions on the day.
The Bridgend Remembrance Sunday Parade and Service will take place on Sunday 10th November. The parade, led by the City of Swansea Pipe Band, will muster in Adare Street at the junction with Wyndham Street at 10:25am. The parade will step off at 10.40am and march to the War Memorial, Dunraven Place for a service conducted by Reverend Rachel Wheeler. Bridgend Male Voice Choir and Lewis-Merthyr Brass Band will provide musical support.
Children under secondary school age are welcome to attend to observe the Sunday Remembrance Parade and Service with their family or carers but will not participate in the Sunday Remembrance parade.
Further information regarding the Remembrance events and any changes to this event will be communicated via our website and Facebook Page www.facebook.com/bridgendtowncouncil
