Remembrance Sunday in Flintshire

Remembrance Sunday, which falls on 14 November in 2021, is a national 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.

People of all ages will pay their respects to those who have lost their lives in conflicts at Remembrance events across Flintshire.
