The Royal British Legion is recognised as the national custodian of Remembrance.
Remembrance Sunday, the second Sunday in November, is the day traditionally put aside to remember all those who have given their lives for the peace and freedom we enjoy today.
We will remember them.
"They shall grow not old. as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning
We will remember them"

The Upminster and Cranham Remembrance Sunday Parade will be held on Sunday 8 November. Everyone participating in the parade is asked to assemble at Upminster and Cranham Royal British Legion, 316 St Mary’s Lane, by 10.15am.

We also extend an invitation to anyone not participating in the parade to join us at Upminster War Memorial in Corbets Tey Road at 11.00am for an act of Remembrance and to observe the National Two Minutes’ Silence. Please join us to remember those who have been injured or killed in the service of their country. We are very grateful to the local police, St Laurence Church and Havering Council for making the parade possible
