Armistice Day Parade

Bedworth in Warwickshire retains the tradition of
celebrating Armistice Day at the exact hour, day and
month each year.
It is now the largest and most famous Armistice Day Parade in Britain. The service is held at the War Memorial in Bedworth's Coventry Road Cemetery in the presence of the Lord Lieutenant of Warwickshire representing H.M.The Queen, the Mayor of Nuneaton and Bedworth, invited dignitaries and guests, the citizens of Bedworth and the surrounding towns, and supporters from all over the country who travel just to "be there" on the day.
The parade marches through Bedworth town centre and has been led by Frank Parsons in recognition of his unstinting dedication to the Bedworth Armistice Day Parade Group. Frank is suffering ill health at the moment, but we remain hopeful he will be able to be carry on in his customary position at the front of the Parade.

"At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
we will remember them"

The Committee invite all ex-service personnel and all Ex-Service Associations, especially the Standards, to attend the 2010 event which will be held on Thursday 11th November 2010. Building on the huge success of the 2009 parade this promises to be a massive parade, one of the biggest ever.
We would be pleased to have as many National, County and Area Standards as possible.
