JOIN US AS SANDWELL REMEMBERS

On Sunday 10 November, events will be held across Sandwell to mark Remembrance Sunday, as people from all faiths, backgrounds and cultures unite to honour our fallen heroes.

There will seven parades across Sandwell’s six boroughs with representation from the West Midlands Lieutenancy for each parade. Anyone wishing to watch the parades is advised to be there from 10.30am.

Parades will be followed by services, where a two-minute silence will be observed at war memorials at 11am. These events have been organised by the Royal British Legion and local community groups, with support from Sandwell Council.

This year, there will be parades with services in the following locations:

Great Barr – St Margaret’s Church

Oldbury – Oldbury Civic Square

Rowley Regis – Powke Lane Cemetery

Smethwick – Smethwick Council House

Tipton – Victoria Park

Wednesbury – Memorial Gardens

West Bromwich – Dartmouth Park

The services are open to anyone who would like to pay their respects. However, members of the public are advised that there will temporary road closures for parades during these events.
