Farnham’s annual Remembrance Parade and Service will take place on Sunday 10 November, offering the community a moment to unite in honouring those who lost their lives while serving in the armed forces.

Members of the parade will assemble in Castle Street from 10am. The parade will depart from Castle Street at 10.25am and arrive at the war memorial for a service at 10.45am. At 11am, the town will observe a two-minute silence, followed by the sounding of the Last Post, readings, and the laying of wreaths.
