🌺 **Maldon Remembers – Remembrance Sunday 2026** 🌺

Have you seen the beautiful drape of poppies displayed on the balcony of Maldon’s historic Moot Hall?

Created by more than **60 dedicated volunteers**, this stunning display features an incredible **5,000 handmade poppies**, brought together in a design by the very talented Wendy Munnion. A wonderful tribute made possible through the time, care and generosity of our local community.

We invite residents and visitors to join us on **Sunday 8th November 2026** as Maldon comes together to remember and honour all those who have served and sacrificed for our country.

📍 **War Memorial, outside All Saints’ Church, Maldon High Street**

🕥 **Service commences at 10.50am**

The service, organised by Maldon Town Council in partnership with the Maldon & Heybridge Branch of the Royal British Legion, will include wreath laying, the Last Post, the Exhortation and Silence, the National Anthem and a march past of veterans, services and local cadet groups. This year, we are also pleased to welcome back the Essex Caledonian Pipe Band.

🌺 **Lest We Forget.**
