Remembrance Sunday events in Hersham

Posted by Rupert Basham on Nov 2, 09 05:23 PM in

Residents in Elmbridge will be commemorating Remembrance Sunday on November 8.

A full day of events is taking place across the borough to help raise money for the British Legion's annual poppy appeal.

The first official Legion poppy day was held in Britain on November 11, 1921 inspired by the poem 'Flanders' Fields' written by John McCrae.

In Herham a service will start at 9.45am at the war memorial in Burwood Road.
