“"Remembrance and Armistice services give us an opportunity to come together as a community, honour the courage and sacrifice of all those who served, and remember those who never returned. We must ensure their legacy lives on, and we are proud to work alongside the RBL in organising these important ceremonies for our city."
“"Remembrance Sunday is where we all come together to remember those military and civilian service personnel who died during both World Wars and other wars since. It is, unsurprisingly, the most important event in the Royal British Legion calendar. Salisbury has had a long association with the Armed Forces and like every town and village in the UK and Commonwealth, many of its own citizens went off to war; some did not return. The least we can all do is pause for a few minutes each year and reflect on the sacrifices they made for our benefit. Every year, our Remembrance Sunday service in Salisbury has gone from strength to strength; more people now attend than ever before. The Guildhall Square is absolutely packed for the Act of Remembrance and huge crowds now applaud the contingents of serving and retired service personnel marching down New Canal. It really is fantastic to see how many people in Salisbury appreciate how important it is to remember those who have served in their country’s armed forces and especially those who did not come back."
