About Bicester Town Remembrance Service and Parade 2023
Bicester Town Council’s Remembrance Day Service and Parade will take on a new format this year to ensure it’s more inclusive for residents.
As usual, hundreds of people from uniformed organisations and local military units will take part in the parade. It will be led by ATC 2507 (Bicester) Marching Band with members of 1 Regiment Royal Logistic Corps and the Royal British Legion.
The parade will march from St Edburg’s Church at about 10.30 am to Market Square, where the outdoor service will be held for the first time. Previously, the outdoor service took place in front of St Edburg’s Church.
They will be lined up in Market Square by a Parade Marshal from 1 Regt RLC in readiness for the service and wreath laying, which starts at 10.55am.
Afterwards, Mayor Councillor Harry Knight, the Commanding Officer of 1 Regt RLC Lt Col Lucinda Butler MBE and Deputy Lieutenant Miranda Markham will take the salute before the parade marches back to the church.
With more room available for the outdoor service in Market Square, residents are being urged to join.
Wreath laying will also change this year – only local dignitaries will lay wreathes at the outdoor service. All other groups or individuals should take their wreath to the memorial at St Edburg’s Church and hand it over to the Honour Guard, who will then lay it on their behalf.
The main service of remembrance will take place in St Edburg’s Church from noon.
