Remembrance Sunday 2026 commemorated in Hinckley & Bosworth
Residents across Hinckley and Bosworth came together on Remembrance Sunday to honour those who have served their country and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
The main borough service took place at the Memorial Gardens in Argents Mead, Hinckley, where hundreds of people gathered for a moving act of remembrance. The service was led by the Vicar of St Mary's Church, Reverend Ian Hill, and included contributions from local clergy, the Royal British Legion, veterans' groups, civic leaders, members of the armed forces community, and young people from guiding, scouting and cadet organisations.
During the service, wreaths were laid at the war memorial as residents observed the two-minute silence and paid tribute to servicemen and women past and present.
Remembrance services and parades also took place in towns and villages across the borough, with communities coming together to honour local service personnel and remember those who lost their lives in conflict.
The Mayor of Hinckley and Bosworth, Councillor Cathie Gibbens said: "Remembrance Sunday is always a deeply poignant occasion, and it was an honour to represent the borough at this years' service. It was heartening to see so many veterans, serving personnel, uniformed organisations and members of the public united in remembering those who have served our country and those who gave their lives for our freedom."
The annual services once again demonstrated the borough's strong tradition of remembrance and gratitude to those who have served their nation.
