Romsey Remembers

Romsey’s Remembrance Sunday parade was a three stage affair, culminating in a march through the town centre where the salute was taken by the Mayor and civic dignitaries.

The town’s War Memorial park is a short distance off the town centre, so the parade began in the town and first headed for the park for a short memorial service. Then the parade reformed and marched the short distance back towards the town to the Abbey for another service.

When that finished the parade reformed yet again to march along the town’s Church Street to the Market Place where the salute was taken in the shadow of the statue of Lord Palmerston, a 19th century Prime Minister who lived in the town.

The parade continued through the town centre to the Royal British Legion for dismissal.
