Henfield Remembers 2024

The weather was clear and bright for Henfield’s annual Remembrance commemorations on Sunday 10 November.

Brighton City Brass led the parade of local organisations, including ex-service personnel, Scouting and Guiding groups, local organisations and the Clergy. They mustered at the War Memorial in Cagefoot Lane and marched to St Peter’s Church for the annual Service of Remembrance. 

After the service the Parade returned to the War Memorial where they were joined by residents who lined the High Street and waited respectfully at the War Memorial. The short service of remembrance included an impeccably observed two-minute silence, the Last Post and Reveille and a hymn, as well as poppy wreaths being laid on behalf of many local organisations.

In addition to our Councils, Emergency Services and Clubs and Groups, Scouting & Guiding organisations, St Peter’s School, Henfield Youth Club and Football Club were in attendance.

The event was the last time Mike Morgan will perform the role of Parade Marshal, a duty which he’s accomplished with great calmness, professionalism and accuracy for the past fourteen years. We extend our thanks on behalf of the village to Mike for his dedication.

Thank you to Henfield Parish Council and Henfield Churches for the organisation of this touching village Remembrance event and to the Henfield Club for their warm hospitality.
