The Boys’ Brigade Remembers

Tuesday 16th November 2021

In recent days thousands of members of The Boys’ Brigade have joined with the nation to remember all those who sacrificed so much for our freedom.

A group of young people and leaders took part in the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph in Whitehall on Remembrance Sunday, 14th November. The commemoration, broadcast live on the BBC, included a march past and the laying of wreaths. For many of the Brigade members present it was their first time participating in such an event, so we want to say thank you and well done to the whole group for representing the organisation so well.

In addition to the events in central London, Brigade members across the country took part in Remembrance events in their local Churches, schools and communities. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic some events once again took on a different form to normal, but we also thank all those who played a part in these commemorations.

Children and young people have also been getting involved as part of their regular programme of activities, learning about Remembrance and why it is important in a variety of ways.

Companies and Battalions have been posting about their involvement in Remembrance on social media. We encourage you to post and share your events to @theboysbrigade and use hashtags #WeWillRememberThem and #BoysBrigade. You can also email us at newsdesk@boys-brigade.org.uk
