Everyone welcome.

On Sunday 8th November 2026, our community came together to honour and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

The Remembrance Sunday Service was organised by Greater Willington Town Council, in collaboration with St Stephen’s Church and the Royal British Legion.

It was truly heartwarming to see so many residents, families and young people come together to pay their respects and reflect on the courage, sacrifice and dedication of those who served, and continue to serve, our country.

The poignant occasion began with a procession from St Stephen’s Church to Willington War Memorial, where the Service commenced with a welcome from Town Mayor, Councillor Dorothy Hales.

We were also delighted to welcome County Councillors Cathy Hunt and Emma Hunt, who joined us in paying their respects on this important occasion.

Greater Willington Town Council would like to extend its sincere thanks and appreciation to everyone who contributed to making the Service such a meaningful and dignified occasion.

🌺 Our special thanks go to:

Peter Booth, (Reader with Permission to Officiate) from St Paul’s Church, Hunwick, for kindly leading the Service.

Father Greg Price of Our Lady & St Thomas RC Church, for leading the prayers.

Deputy Lord-Lieutenant Major Chris Lawton MBE, for attending in his official capacity as His Majesty The King’s representative.

PC 9659 Dominic Blakelock, for delivering the readings.

Town Councillor, Charles Hales, for reading the Kohima Epitaph and announcing the order of wreath laying.

Aycliffe and Brancepeth Brass Band, for providing the beautiful and fitting musical accompaniment throughout the Service.

Beacon Traffic Management for providing the road closure.

We would also like to express our heartfelt thanks to all military personnel and veterans, Crook Police, County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service, local schools and faith organisations, local businesses, voluntary organisations, charities and community groups who attended, participated or supported the Service.

A special thank you must also go to all the residents and young people who attended. Your presence was a wonderful reminder that the sacrifices made by previous generations will never be forgotten, and that the spirit of remembrance continues to live on within our community.

🌺 At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.🌺
