Billingshurst Remembrance Sunday Parade and Service
9th November 2025
On Sunday 9th November, The Billingshurst Branch of the Royal British Legion will hold their Annual Remembrance Sunday Parade through Billingshurst Village. This will be followed by a Commemoration Service held at the War Memorial by St Mary’s Church, where all are welcome.
Remembrance Sunday is the day traditionally put aside for us to remember all those who have given their lives for the freedoms that we enjoy today. On this day, people across the nation pause to reflect about the sacrifices made by our Armed Forces.
The British Legion Parade will depart from Frenches Mead at 10.30am, with the route proceeding passed the United Reformed Church, up the High Street, turning right at Meadows Wellbeing and up to Gratwicke Close, to arrive at the War Memorial by 10.50am.
At 11.00am the Remembrance Ceremony will commemorate those ‘Fallen in War’ and it will be Billingshurst’s opportunity to ensure that the sacrifices of those who served are never forgotten.
The Reverend David Beal will then conduct a special Remembrance Service within St Mary’s Church. Following this service the Parade will reform and march to Billingshurst’s Community Centre, where refreshments will be available. Along this return route the Salute will be received by Legion Branch President, Colin Banks, alongside the Parish Council Chairman Paul Berry.
The Parade will be organised by the Billingshurst Parish Council, who take on the responsibility for the necessary temporary road closures, which allows the procession to take place each year.
