Tiverton Remembrance Sunday Parade 2024

Описание: Hundreds lined the streets of Tiverton for the annual Remembrance Sunday parade this weekened.
A parade of veterans, youth organisations, and dignitiaries including Tiverton’s new MP Rachel Gilmour paraded through the town to St Peter’s Church for a service, before heading to the war memorial building on Angel Hill for wreath laying.
Doc Savage from the Royal British Legion Tiverton branch thanked crowds for attending the Remembrance Sunday parade.
He said: “Thank you to the town clerk. Mayor and Tiverton Town Council for arranging the parade. Thank you to Graham and the Tiverton Town Band for a superb performance. Thanks to Colin, Roger, and the team who have put the Poppy Appeal together, as well as to all the volunteer poppy sellers these last few weeks.
“I’d also like to thank the volunteers of the youth organisations, who, without them to support those organisations they wouldn’t be here today.”
He added his tributes to former Tiverton Sea Cadet leader Mark Newsome who died earlier this year.
He added: “This Remembrance Sunday we’re a man down. Unfortunately, the OAC at the local Sea Cadets passed this year. He would normally be here to support us; we miss him very much. When you remember, please put a little thought through your head for the Sea Cadets who have been through a lot and Mark’s family, as it’s been a tough time for all.”
