On Sunday 10th November, Horley marked Remembrance Day with its annual Parade and Service at the Memorial Gardens, honouring all those who served and gave their lives in the two World Wars and subsequent conflicts.

The event began with a Parade led by the Redhill Corps of Drums & Band, followed by veterans, councillors, Scouts, Guides, Brownies, Army Cadets, local schools, and community groups marching along Victoria Road from the Horley RBL headquarters in Albert Road.

At the Memorial Gardens, local residents and visitors gathered to pay their respects. Wreaths were laid by representatives of the Royal British Legion, local government, schools, cadet groups and others. Among the attendees were Deputy Lieutenant for Surrey, Colonel A.P. Guthrie who laid the King's Wreath.  Local government officials including Cllr Andy Lynch of Surrey County Council, Reigate & Banstead Borough Council Leader Cllr Richard Biggs and Horley Town Mayor, Cllr Martin Saunders were joined by other council members in laying wreaths.

The service, led by Reverend Canon Les Wells and The Reverend Vic Stone, featured a moving address and prayers with the congregation joining in hymns, including the National Anthem, as they reflected on the sacrifices made by others.

Earlier in the week, the Garden of Remembrance was rededicated on 6th November in a special ceremony led by the local clergy and opened by Deputy Town Mayor, Cllr Tom Turner, to honour members of the Horley Branch who passed away during the year. On Monday 11th November, residents observed the National Two Minutes’ Silence in the Town Centre to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

This annual event served as a poignant reminder of the bravery and commitment of those who have served in the armed forces and the importance of peace.
