War veterans, men, women and children will gather and stand in silence to commemorate those killed fighting for their country.

Remembrance Day services will be held across the borough for people to pay their respects and remember the sacrifices of servicemen and women in the two world wars and later conflicts on Sunday, November 10.

Councillor Meena Bond, mayor of Richmond, said: “Remembrance Sunday recognises the sacrifice made by members of our armed forces and civilians who have served, continue to serve and have fallen in the line of duty to our great nation.

“The services on Sunday, November 10, are a small token we can do to show that the sacrifice they made will never be forgotten.”

Events consist of a parade of armed forces veterans, civic dignitaries and religious officials followed by a service and two-minute silence at 11am to commemorate the end of the First World War.

There will also be the laying of wreaths.
