North Norfolk MP Steff Aquarone attended Remembrance Sunday services in North Walsham and Stalham on 8 November. Armistice Day follows on Wednesday 11 November.

North Walsham and Stalham both held Remembrance Sunday services on Sunday 8 November, and North Norfolk’s MP, Steff Aquarone, attended both, his office said on Monday.

In North Walsham the day began with an Act of Remembrance at War Memorial Park, followed by a parade to St Nicholas Church. In Stalham, Mr Aquarone joined the town’s own Remembrance Sunday service.

His office said the two commemorations brought together residents, veterans and community representatives to remember those who lost their lives, those who were injured or still live with the effects of service, and the generations who have served.

What the MP said

“Remembrance Sunday is a time to reflect on the extraordinary sacrifices made by those who served our country, particularly those who never came home,” Mr Aquarone said.

“It was incredibly moving to join communities in both North Walsham and Stalham. Seeing people of different generations come together to remember shows just how deeply that sense of gratitude and respect runs through North Norfolk.

“We owe so much to those who served, and remembrance is also about making sure we continue to stand alongside our veterans and their families today.”

He also thanked the Royal British Legion, local organisers, volunteers and everyone involved in keeping Remembrance Sunday an important occasion in communities across North Norfolk.

What comes next

Armistice Day falls on Wednesday 11 November. Mr Aquarone’s office said it gives people across the constituency another chance to pause and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Closer to Norwich, Thorpe St Andrew closed Yarmouth Road for its own parade on Sunday morning; our Broadland Remembrance Sunday page has the details that were published beforehand.
