Residents are invited to come together in Overton on Sunday 8th November to remember those who have lost their lives in conflict and pay tribute to the men and women who have served their country.
The Remembrance Sunday commemorations will begin at 10.20am, when uniformed organisations gather at Beech Tree Care Home ahead of a procession through the village centre to the church.
The procession is due to depart at 10.30am, with the Act of Remembrance and wreath-laying ceremony expected to take place at approximately 10.50am around the war memorial outside the church.
Following the ceremony, a Remembrance service will be held inside the church, with Test Valley Brass leading the music.
An age-appropriate youth service will also take place in the church rooms, led by Earl Robinson from LifeSpring Community Church. This service is expected to finish at around midday.
Collections during the services will go towards the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, supporting the charity’s work with serving and former members of the Armed Forces and their families.
Overton Radio will be present throughout the event, capturing photographs and video footage to document the village’s Remembrance Sunday commemorations and help share the occasion with the wider community.
Everyone is welcome to attend and join the village in this important act of remembrance.
