The Worshipful Mayor of Barnet, Cllr Tony Vourou, lays a wreath at Hendon War Memorial
Barnet residents came together to pay their respects to those who have died in conflicts around the world on Remembrance Sunday (10 November).
Services and parades took place throughout the borough, with the Worshipful Mayor of Barnet, Cllr Tony Vourou, attending commemorations at the Hendon War Memorial. He laid a wreath on behalf of the Mayoralty, Councillors and Burgesses. The Leader of the Council and opposition joined Armed Forces, veterans, cadets, emergency services, multi-faith representatives, the Salvation Army Band and members of the public at the service.
The Worshipful Mayor of Barnet, Cllr Tony Vourou, said: “We remember all the people who have sacrificed their lives, for our peace and freedom, in conflicts across the world. Remembrance Sunday is a chance for us to stand in silence and pay tribute to them. We must never forget what they sacrificed for us. Lest we forget.”
Wreaths were also sent to Barnet’s twin towns, Chaville and Le Raincy in France, as always, for their Remembrance services on Armistice Day (11 November).
