Remembrance Parade 2026

Under a clear blue sky and bright sunshine, members of our Club, friends from Brit Valley Rotary and Bridport Inner Wheel joined representatives and veterans of HM Armed Forces and other local groups, including many youth organisations, to march in the Remembrance Parade from East Street to the War Memorial in South Street. 

At 11.00 am and the sound of the maroon, the Town fell silent as we paid respects and remembered those who had sacrificed their lives in defence of their country and to ensure our freedom. 

The wreath laying ceremony followed. For our three Clubs, they were placed by President Peter Richards (Bridport Rotary), Vice President John Clegg (Brit Valley) and President Carole Houghton (Bridport Inner Wheel).

Our thanks go to Garry Hayball, the Official Bridport Town Council photographer, for providing us with some excellent photographs and Martin Cox and Christine Paull for therir excellent contributions.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
