Harrow to observe two-minute silence on Remembrance Sunday

Published on

Harrow will mark Remembrance Sunday on November 8 with services in the town centre, Edgware and Pinner.

A two-minute silence is scheduled for 11am as part of the national remembrance observance.

Councillor Yogesh Teli, the mayor of Harrow, said the occasion would recognise those who died in conflicts and the freedoms their sacrifice helped protect.

He also paid tribute to members of the armed forces serving today, encouraging residents to wear poppies and take part in the commemorations.

Teli is due to lead the Harrow town centre service.

A parade involving armed forces personnel, cadets, scouts and community groups will assemble at Greenhill Way at 10.15am.

It will then travel along Station Road before reaching the war memorial on St Ann’s Road.

Separate services are arranged for 10am at Edgware War Memorial on High Street and from 10.40am until 11.30am at Pinner War Memorial.
