Services of Remembrance will take place across Trafford on Sunday 9 November 2025, giving residents the opportunity to remember and honour the servicemen and women who gave their lives in both World Wars and in more recent conflicts.
Events will be held in towns and villages across the borough, including parades in Sale, Stretford, Urmston and Hale, and services in Altrincham, Bowdon, Hale Barns and Partington.
Each ceremony will include the traditional two-minute silence, wreath-laying, and prayers of remembrance to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The Mayor of Trafford, Councillor Jane Brophy, will attend the Civic Remembrance Service in Hale.
In the run-up to Remembrance Day, the Council’s street cleansing partner Amey will be ensuring the borough’s cenotaphs and parade routes are looking their best.
Crews will be assigned to remove fallen leaves and moss from these areas, as well as ensuring that the monuments are professionally cleaned — helping to create a fitting and dignified setting for each event.
Mayor of Trafford, Cllr Jane Brophy, said:
“It is vitally important we remember all the members of our Armed Forces who have given so much to protect us and our way of life.
Without the brave actions and sacrifices made by our military, we would not enjoy the freedom we now have. It’s therefore right that each year at this time, we take a moment to pause and reflect on the bravery and dedication to duty of our Armed Forces.
I would urge everyone to attend one of the services in our borough to pay our respects and give our thanks in remembrance of the fallen.”
Trafford Council is proud to support the Armed Forces Covenant, a national promise to ensure that those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, are treated with fairness and respect.
The Council continues to work closely with local organisations and veterans’ groups to provide support, opportunities, and recognition for the Armed Forces community throughout the year.
