Reflections on Remembrance Sunday 8th November 2026
Hundreds of people, including members of uniformed organisations, gathered for the Remembrance Sunday 2026 church service at St Mary’s. The day began with a parade from Torr Park to the church. Others joined outdoors for the laying of wreaths and the Act of Remembrance.
We remembered those who lost their lives in wars and prayed for peace, with poppies decorating our church and the area outside. Rev’d Gordon McGuiness led the service. Tracey Fisher spoke about the history of Eastham’s war memorial, and Beth Ramsden from St David’s United Reform Church led the prayers.
The Act of Remembrance included the Last Post; the reading of the names of the fallen and the laying of wreaths from several local schools and other organisations.
Many young children and teenagers who are members of uniformed organisations attended the parade and the church service – their respectful conduct was exemplary and they were a credit to their leaders and parents.
The service and parade were a fitting and moving tribute to the fallen. Many thanks to our church wardens, Tracey Fisher MBE, the sanctuary staff and local volunteers for their help with the arrangements which made both possible.
