Dorset remembers the fallen during parades and services around the county
After missing a year in 2020, due to the pandemic, Remembrance Services and many parades were back throughout the county on Sunday 14 November.
In Ferndown, there was a parade between KGV pavilion and St Mary’s Church, where the service was held. With limited numbers able to attend, the service was also transmitted outside the church and livestreamed via Facebook and YouTube.
In Wimborne, a short service of Remembrance was held on the Minster Green, with people gathered in the minster grounds and on the High Street, however, the parade did not take place this year.
The service in Colehill returned to its usual format, with a parade and service at Colehill War Memorial, and around 300 people in attendance. Parades and services also took place throughout the region including in West Moors and Verwood, both of which were well-attended. Wreaths were laid by representatives of local councils, the army, Royal Air Force, police, fire service, Scouts, Guides, local organisations and individuals.
