🌺 Formby Village Comes Together for a Magnificent Remembrance Sunday Parade

What a wonderful sight in Formby Village this afternoon as the traditional Remembrance Sunday parade made its way through the streets, with hundreds of people taking part or gathering to pay their respects.

The parade began at approximately 4pm today, Sunday 8th November, setting off from Holy Trinity Church on Rosemary Lane before making its way along Chapel Lane.

It was a particularly impressive procession, bringing together Army Cadets, Royal Air Force Air Cadets and Sea Cadets, alongside veterans, standard bearers, members of the Armed Forces community, local dignitaries and members of the public.

The stirring sound of a traditional Scottish bagpiper, accompanied by marching drums, added to the atmosphere as the procession proudly made its way through the village.

One of the most memorable moments came as the parade passed the village War Memorial, where those marching saluted the assembled dignitaries before continuing along Chapel Lane and eventually returning to Holy Trinity Church.

It was especially heartwarming to see so many young cadets taking part, marching proudly in their uniforms and demonstrating such respect for those who gave their lives for our freedom.

Residents lined the streets to watch the procession, with people of all ages coming together on a chilly November afternoon to honour the fallen.

Following this morning’s historic 11am Remembrance gathering at the War Memorial, the afternoon parade was another wonderful example of Formby’s strong community spirit and its determination to ensure that those who served and sacrificed are never forgotten.

❤️ A huge thank you to everyone involved in organising today’s parade, the cadets, veterans, standard bearers, musicians, volunteers, emergency services and everyone who came along to show their support.

Formby really did its fallen heroes proud today, and it was lovely to see so many generations coming together for such an important occasion.

🌺 We Will Remember Them.

Lest We Forget.
