The community will come together today to commemorate the soldiers of all conflicts who have served our country.
Havering is hosting services to remember both those who came home – and those who did not.
They are as follows:
Romford: Parade from Western Road to Coronation Gardens at 10.30am, followed by a service at the war memorial starting at 10.55am.
Upminster: Parade at 10.40am from the Upminster and Cranham Royal British Legion, in St Mary’s Lane, to the war memorial, where a short service will take place.
