Remembrance Day services across the Malvern Hills 2023

Remembrance Sunday falls on 12 November this year and is an opportunity to remember the service and sacrifice of all those that have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.

We remember the Armed Forces, and their families, from Britain and the Commonwealth, the vital role played by the emergency services and those that have lost their lives as a result of conflict or terrorism.

Visit the Royal British Legion website for more information on the national service of Remembrance.

Road Closures can be found on the Worcestershire County Council website.
