Armistice Day Parade
Armistice Day is commemorated every year on November 11th to remember the armistice signed between the Allies and Germany for the cessation of hostilities at the Western Front of WWI. This took effect at eleven o’clock in the morning, signified by ‘…the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918’
Westerham has always taken this date seriously, especially following the formation of the Royal British Legion, the standard bearer of which would lead the parade to and from the Church.
