Lest We Forget

A large crowd gathered to pay their respects at the Remembrance Sunday Parade on a misty morning in Hedge End yesterday.

The Parade was led by the 2428 (Hedge End) Squadron Air Cadets, with members of the 13th Itchen Scouts Group carrying the flag.

They were joined by councillors including Hedge End Town Council Chair Cllr. Leigh Hadaway who laid a wreath on behalf of the Town Council, Cllr. Ian Corben, Cllr. Ron Nichols, Cllr. James Paine and Cllr. John Shepherd alongside veterans, local organisations, schools and community groups. Four churches took part in the service at the War Memorial – St John’s Church, St Luke’s Church, King’s Community Church and the Hedge End Methodist Church.

Cllr. Helen Corben also laid a wreath at a ceremony at the HMS Cricket Memorial in the River Hamble Country Park.

We would like to thank everyone who attended and supported the event.
