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.
Commemorative events will take place in November and start on Saturday 2nd November 2024 with a service at the Commonwealth War Graves in Ringwood Cemetery at 10:45am. Poppy crosses will be laid on the graves of service personnel whose last resting place is Ringwood.
On Sunday 10th November 2024, Remembrance Sunday, various services will place around the town after which a parade will gather in Market Place at 1130am. The procession will walk to the War Memorial Garden where a short service will take place, followed by the formal Act of Remembrance at 12 noon. There will then be a formal wreath-laying ceremony and a procession back to Market Place.
On Armistice Day, Monday 11th November 2024, a service will place at the War Memorial Garden at 10:45am when a National 2 Minute Silence will be observed at 11am. In accordance with local tradition, the start and end of the silence will be marked by the firing of a maroon generating a loud bang heard around the town.
