Remembrance

Remembrance is part of modern British life, culture and heritage. 

Over the Remembrance period there are a number of commemorative services that take place for the people of Ringwood to come together to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty.

2023 Remembrance Events in Ringwood

 

Commemorative events took place in November and started on Saturday 4th November 2023 with a service at the War Graves in Ringwood Cemetery at 10:45am. Poppy crosses were laid on the graves of service personnel whose last resting place is Ringwood. 

On Armistice Day, Saturday 11th November 2023, a service took place at the War Memorial at 10:45am when a National 2 Minutes Silence was observed at 11am. In accordance with local tradition, the start and end of the silence was marked by the firing of a maroon generating a loud bang heard around the town.

On Sunday 12th November 2023, Remembrance Sunday, various services took place around the town after which a parade went from the Market Place at 1130am. The procession walked to the War Memorial Garden where a short service took place followed by the formal Act of Remembrance at 12 noon. This was followed by a formal wreath-laying ceremony and a procession back to Market Place.
