REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY 2026 

CHANGES TO REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY EVENTS 2026

Dear Residents

This is to let you know in good time that there will be some changes to the Remembrance Sunday events in Caldicot in November 2026. These changes have been made at the request of the Caldicot Branch of the Royal British Legion and supported by Caldicot Town Council.

At the request of the Royal British Legion, we will be reverting to arrangements very similar to those that were in place prior to the Covid lockdowns. The RBL has pointed out that the arrangements in place in 2024 and 2025, which included a march from the King George V Playing Fields to the Cross for a service and then on to St Mary’s Church for another service, proved very strenuous for the more elderly or infirm participants, including many veterans and their relatives.

The town council has therefore agreed with the RBL proposal to assemble in Jubilee Way and march straight to the church via Caldicot Cross. There will be no morning service at the Cross. Members of the public are encouraged to line the route and, if they wish, to take part in the non-denominational service at the church. P.A speakers will be placed outside the church to cater for any overflow. Details of timings will be published closer to the date.

The sunset service will take place at 4:00pm at the Cross as normal and we hope that it will be attended by as many people as possible.

Caldicot Town Council is proud to support the Royal British Legion and will continue to work closely with the Caldicot branch to ensure that the sacrifices made in past conflicts are commemorated in the most appropriate way.

Yours faithfully

Councillor I R Shillabeer

The Mayor of Caldicot
