Members of the public are invited to join councillors and council staff who will be observing a two-minute silence outside Ealing Town Hall at 11am on Armistice Day, Friday 11 November.

Remembrance Sunday events will also take place across the borough on Sunday, 13 November.

Mayor of Ealing, Councillor Dr Patricia Walker, is due to attend a service at Ealing War Memorial on Ealing Green, in front of Pitzhanger Manor when a two-minute silence will take place at 11am. Deputy leader of the council Ranjit Dheer is also due to attend.

The local branch of the Royal British Legion will be marching to Greenford War Memorial on Greenford Broadway from its headquarters in Oldfield Lane South for a public service at 11am. Council leader, Julian Bell and deputy mayor Councillor Simon Woodroofe are due to attend.

A parade will start from Manor Park and pass through Southall on the way to Southall War Memorial on The Green for a service at 11am before continuing though the town. The previous mayor, Councillor Harbhajan Kaur Dheer, will attend the service.

Councillor Bell said: “When you look at the many, many names carved into the borough’s war memorials it brings home to you what a sacrifice they made on behalf of their country. Remembrance Day is a chance to honour and respect that sacrifice.”

The Mayor and Councillor Bell attended the Acton Hospital Remembrance service at Acton Care Centre at 3pm on Sunday, 6 November which is traditionally held a week before Remembrance Sunday. Injured servicemen were cared for at Acton Hospital in Gunnersbury Lane, following the First World War and it later became a living war memorial.
