Southport Remembrance Sunday 2026

SOUTHPORT held the annual Civic Remembrance Service on:- Sunday, 8 November 2026, at the Southport War Memorial. The event was well attended, and the act of Remembrance was both solemn and respectful. The event started with a Parade to the Cenotaph where the Civic Service was held. The proceedings where led by Vicar of Christ Church Reverend Ben Dyer. Civic leaders, and members of the UK Armed Forces, along with Veterans where all joined by other organisations, and the public, to pay tribute to those lost in war. Then the Civic Party Paraded to Southport Town Hall, followed by a Parade of all those officially taking part. The dignitaries lined the steps and saluted as the Remembrance Parade passed them.  This is our video footage and some photos from the Service.

In total 11 Civic Services took place across Sefton with many more across the Liverpool City Region and throughout the Nation. If you took part in this service or any other, especially the main National Service in London, please do let us know. It is worth adding next year (2027) Southport will host the:- National Armed Forces Day 2027, on:- Saturday, 26 June 2027 and Remembrance Sunday in 2027 will be on:- Sunday, 14 November 2027. That will mean Additional security measures will be put in place for both events.

As you can see, it is worth adding that Southport also Southport residents and the Merseyrail Station also displayed artwork and other materials to honour those lost in war...

Also, these 2 photos where taken for us by Viv Rathbone, outside Birkdale URC Grosvenor Road, in Southport of a  Remembrance Display, complete with a  light sensitive gadget to illuminate at night. Tyhis was created by the Scout Group, 55th Birkdale URC to respect the fallen, entitled:- "Lest we Forget."
