Local MP Alan Mak takes part in annual Remembrance Sunday parade and service in Havant

Local MP Alan Mak took part in the annual parade and service in Havant to mark Remembrance Sunday. 

 

The day began with a parade through the town centre where he and civic dignitaries were joined by veterans, serving soldiers from 16 Regiment Royal Artillery, cadets, Scouts, Guides and representatives of the Royal British Legion.

 

They were accompanied by members of the Hampshire Caledonian Pipe Band as they marched from the RBL headquarters in Brockhampton Lane. 

 

Crowds gathered at Havant War Memorial outside St Faith's Church where an Act of Remembrance then took place. A two-minute silence was observed followed by Mr Mak reading the Kohima Epigram. Wreaths were then laid.

 

A service took place inside St Faith's Church, led by the Rector of Havant, Canon Tom Kennar, where Mr Mak gave the first reading.

Ahead of Remembrance Sunday, he had joined local volunteers and supporters of the Royal British Legion in Havant and Hayling Island to help sell poppies. He is Vice-President of the RBL's Havant branch and a longstanding Legion volunteer.

Mr Mak said: "Every year at Remembrancetide, I am honoured to take part in events across the Havant Constituency to honour the service and sacrifice of all those have served and continue to serve our country. 

"I thank local residents for supporting for the Poppy Appeal and participating in events on Remembrance Sunday and throughout Remembrancetide in and around Havant."
