Waverley to pay tribute to The Fallen

Tributes will be paid throughout Waverley over the Remembrance weekend in honour of those who have served their country in armed conflict.

This year, Remembrance Day falls on Saturday, 11 November. The event commemorates the anniversary of the Allies and Germany signing the armistice in 1918, marking the end of the First World War. It is a national day that serves as a memorial to remember and honour servicemen and women who lost their lives in the First World War.

The Mayor of Waverley, Councillor Penny Rivers, will lead the tributes at the Service of Remembrance in Godalming on Sunday, 12 November.

Councillor Rivers said: “It is right and proper that we gather in our communities and take time to remember those who gave their lives in war so that we may live in peace with freedom and to dedicate our lives in the service of others.”
