The Penarth veterans’ team seek to keep the Act of Remembrance very much alive. This year’s Penarth Remembrance Day Parade will be held on Sunday 9th November 2025, as this date is the closest Sunday to the 11th of November – the traditional Armistice Day.
We have been working since 2014 in collaboration with the town’s Royal British Legion and a committee of members of the Penarth Ex Services Club to ensure ‘the act of Remembrance’ remains a special occasion in the Town calendar. The veterans’ team is a group of serving and veteran military personnel from all arms of His Majesty’s Armed Forces – the Royal Navy, the British Army, and the Royal Air Force.
The committee is formed solely from volunteers who are steadfastly passionate about ensuring the Remembrance Sunday tradition is not only celebrated appropriately but is preserved for the future.
The other main aim of the committee is to ensure that the Penarth Remembrance Day Parade remains a community event; a festival of Remembrance that the town is both a part of and takes pride in.
Penarth has a proud history of military involvement, most notably at least two Victoria Cross recipients. The committee is proud of its links with both the military and the community in which they reside. This year we are particularly pleased with the continuing involvement of three of Penarth’s schools.
Timings for the day
People should arrive at Rectory Road for 09.45hrs.
The Parade will form up at 1000 hrs outside the Garden of Remembrance.
We commence proceedings at the Garden of Remembrance at 1010 hrs where wreaths will be laid.
We will then march through the town to All Saints Church for the Act of Remembrance. We have been told that this year people should be at the church for 1045 hrs.
After Church Parade we will march through the town to Penarth Ex Serviceman’s Club, where we will fall out and join together, less formerly, to raise a toast to Absent Friends.
It is out sincere hope that the community of Penarth come together on Sunday 9th November 2025 and join us along the route or at any of the locations above, and after the parade at the Ex-Serviceman’s club.
