Remembrance Sunday in Hinckley

Hinckley’s service was led by the Vicar of St Mary’s Church, Rev Ian Hill at the Argents Mead war memorial.

Clergy and church members of different denominations, as well as the Royal British Legion and Veterans Groups, Civic Leaders, and representatives of the Guiding, Scouting and Cadet Organisations, all contributed to the morning’s moving service and to the parade, defying the wet and windy weather.

Mayor of Hinckley and Bosworth, Councillor Scott Gibbens, said:

“The annual Remembrance Sunday service is always an incredibly moving, emotional occasion and I was honoured to be taking part on behalf of the borough. The Garden of Remembrance filled with veterans, serving personnel, uniformed organisations and members of the public who come together to pay their respects and to offer their thanks for those who are currently serving, and to those who made huge sacrifices before us.”
