Amesbury Police Join Remembrance Day Parades Across Wiltshire

Amesbury Police officers joined communities across the area to mark Remembrance Day, attending commemorative parades in Amesbury, Tidworth, Shrewton and Ludgershall.

The Amesbury Neighbourhood Policing Team shared its appreciation for being able to take part in the events, paying tribute to the servicemen and women who lost their lives in conflicts and remembering those who continue to serve.

Officers were present at the local parades alongside residents, veterans, serving military personnel, community organisations and representatives from local groups.

Remembrance Day provides an opportunity for communities to come together to honour the sacrifices made by members of the Armed Forces and those who have lost their lives in service to their country.

Across Amesbury, Tidworth, Shrewton and Ludgershall, residents gathered to pay their respects and take part in the commemorations, including the traditional two-minute silence.

The presence of the neighbourhood policing team also highlighted the close relationship between local officers and the communities they serve.

Sharing its message after the events, Amesbury Police said the team was glad and honoured to have spent Remembrance Day attending the parades across the four communities.

The commemorations formed part of the wider national period of remembrance, bringing people together to reflect on the past and recognise the importance of remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
