Lest We Forget – Dartford’s Remembrance Sunday Service to go ahead on 14th November

by | Nov 9, 2021 | Dartford Council, Dartford History, Dartford News

The annual Service of Remembrance will take place at the War Memorial in Central Park, Dartford on Sunday 14th November.

The service will begin at 10.40am and following the end of the service there will be a march past by veterans, uniformed and youth organisations. Due to the ongoing public realm improvements in the High Street, the route of the march past has changed slightly this year.

Participants will assemble in the Acacia Mansion car park and will march to Market Street, before turning into Central Park by Dartford Museum, past the War Memorial and into Central Park before dispersing at the Band Stand.

The public are welcome to attend and participate in remembering those who have sacrificed so much and who continue to do so in conflicts around the world.

Anyone wishing to attend should note that the High Street and Market Street will be closed to traffic from 10.15am on the 14th to allow the service and parade to take place and roads will not re-open until the event has concluded at around midday.
