Diss' Remembrance Parade & Service 2024
We* extend our sincere thanks to everyone who attended this year’s Remembrance Parade, wreath laying ceremony, and service. Your support made a profound impact as we gathered to honour the bravery, sacrifice, and dedication of our armed forces.
This year’s commemoration featured a parade of 40 different organisations along Mere Street, followed by a poignant wreath-laying ceremony on a traditional military battle drumhead altar on the Market Place and well-attended service in St Mary’s Church. We have received lots of positive feedback following the decision to move the location of the wreath-laying ceremony with many commenting on having a ‘much better view’ and ‘feeling more involved’ in the tribute.
We are especially grateful to all the parade participants, volunteers, young reader representatives and those who laid wreaths as a mark of respect. Thank you all for helping make this day of Remembrance so meaningful.
* The Remembrance commemoration is organised by a committee led by Diss Town Council, with representatives from the Diss & District Royal British Legion, Salvation Army, St Mary’s Church, RAFA, the army and air cadets, Diss High School and 1st Diss Scouts.
