Photos: Remembrance Sunday 2023

It was a privilege to join other local dignitaries and military personnel in showing our respects at Bristol’s annual day of remembrance. The event included a parade from College Green to the Cenotaph, before a two minute silence and the laying of wreaths.

Bristol’s Act of Remembrance was led by Royal Marines Reserve Bristol, HMS Flying Fox. With the parade featuring military units, cadet contingents, veterans and related groups.

Thank you to everyone involved in the organisation of such a special and emotional day.
