Buckinghamshire Council to host Remembrance Sunday service in Aylesbury
Buckinghamshire Council’s Remembrance Sunday wreath-laying service will take place in Aylesbury’s Market Square on 9 November 2025, starting at 10:45am. This continues the tradition of holding a Remembrance Day wreath-laying service in Aylesbury, the county town.
Chairman of Buckinghamshire Council, Cllr Sarfaraz Khan Raja, reflected on the importance of the occasion:
“Remembrance Sunday is a solemn and powerful moment for us to honour the courage and sacrifice of our armed forces, past and present. It is a time to reflect on the cost of conflict and to express our enduring gratitude to those who gave their lives in service to our country. Their legacy lives on in the freedoms we enjoy today, and we remain forever in their debt. I encourage everyone in our community to join us in marking this significant day.”
His Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire will be in attendance as will the Mayor of Aylesbury, MP for Aylesbury and the Royal British Legion. Military and uniformed organisations will also be taking part.
The service is being led by Father Doug Zimmerman with Mr Phil Turner, President of the Aylesbury branch of the Royal British Legion, reciting the Exhortation and Kohima epitaph. The Last Post will be sounded, then all attendees will observe a two-minute silence to honour the fallen, followed by the bugle call Reveille, familiar hymns and readings by other dignitaries.
Residents and visitors are warmly invited to attend this meaningful event and pay tribute to our fallen heroes.
In addition to the service in Aylesbury, local events will be held across Buckinghamshire. For information on observances in your area, please check your local community website.
