Remembrance 2025
Services and parades across the Borough
2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and, in November, Eastleigh Borough comes together to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who served in the two world wars and subsequent conflicts.
This year, Remembrance services and parades will be held at locations across the Borough on Sunday 9 November. Eastleigh’s Remembrance service takes place at 10.45am, following a parade at 10:30am from Market Street to the town’s war memorial on the Leigh Road Recreation Ground. The war memorial has been the focus of Eastleigh’s Remembrance commemorations since 1921.
Two large poppies are being erected on the nearby bandstand to provide a very visual sign of support for this year’s Remembrance. People can also tie a poppy onto the bandstand to show their support and respect.
An Armistice Day Service will be held from 10.45am on Tuesday 11 November at the war memorial. The customary two-minute silence will take place at 11am.
