Yesterday, Hertford stood still to mark Remembrance Sunday. Hertford’s annual parade and service was attended by thousands - thank you to all who came to pay their respects and commemorated all those who served and those who continue to serve.

The commemorations, organised by Hertford Town Council in partnership with the Hertford branch of the Royal British Legion started with a parade from St Andrew Street, walking through the town to the War Memorial on Parliament Square. At the War Memorial, a poignant service was held, after which the procession made its way to All Saints' Church, Hertford for a special service that welcomed all.

The Hertford Mayor commented “Displaying the true ‘spirit of Hertford’, our community stood united, in respect and gratitude, to remember all those who serve and have served. As Mayor of Hertford, it was my very great honour to lead the procession with the Lord Lieutenant, at this poignant annual event - that Hertford always does so very well...."
