Glenfield Remembrance service 2026
Hundreds of Glenfield residents joined the village's Remembrance Sunday commemorations on Sunday, 8 November 2026 they all came together to remember and honour those who gave their lives in the service of their country.
The parade proceeded along the road from Park House to St Peter's Church.
Cllr Nick Chapman Chairman, Glenfield Parish Council said:
"It was a great honor and privilege to take part in yesterday’s Remembrance Sunday Parade and Service in Glenfield.
I was proud to lay a wreath at the War Memorial on behalf of Leicestershire County Council, alongside Cllr Oliver Hall, Vice-Chairman of Glenfield Parish Council, who laid a wreath on behalf of Glenfield Parish Council.
It was particularly moving to see so many residents, veterans, uniformed organisations, young people and families coming together to pay their respects and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy today.
Remembrance is not simply about looking back. It is about ensuring that the courage, service and sacrifice of past generations are never forgotten and that future generations understand the importance of remembrance.
On Armistice Day, Wednesday 11 November, Cllr Richard Wyatt will lay a further wreath at the War Memorial on behalf of the Parish of Glenfield, as we once again pause to remember.
My sincere thanks go to everyone involved in organising and supporting the parade and service, including the volunteers and Glenfield Parish Council staff who helped ensure the event could take place safely."
We will remember them.
