Redbridge communities invited to honour the fallen at Remembrance services

Published: 21 October 2026 Poppies in field with sun setting

This November, communities across the London Borough of Redbridge will come together to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country.

A series of Remembrance Day parades and services will be held throughout the borough, offering residents an opportunity to stand united in reflection, gratitude and remembrance.

Observed annually across Commonwealth nations, Remembrance Day commemorates members of the armed forces who lost their lives in service to their country. Also known as Poppy Day, it serves as a powerful reminder of the courage, sacrifice and dedication of those who served.
