Remembrance Sunday

Remembrance Sunday is a national opportunity to remember the service and sacrifice of all those that have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.

We remember the Armed Forces, and their families, from Britain and the Commonwealth, the vital role played by the emergency services and those who have lost their lives as a result of conflict or terrorism.

The Poppy Appeal by the Royal British Legion will shortly be launched and residents across Wirral are asked to once again show their support.
