The Worshipful Mayor of Barnet, Cllr Danny Rich, lays a wreath on Remembrance Sunday.
Thousands of Barnet residents came together to pay their respects to those who have died in conflicts around the world on Remembrance Sunday (9 November).
Services and parades took place throughout the borough. The Worshipful Mayor of Barnet, Cllr Danny Rich, laid wreaths on behalf of the Mayor, Councillors and Burgesses of the London Borough of Barnet at the war memorial at St Kilda’s and Finchley United Services Club, the Watling Community Centre and at the war memorial in Arkley. The Deputy Mayor attended the Hendon service and past Mayors and representatives paid respects at other services and war memorials in the borough.
The Worshipful Mayor of Barnet, Cllr Danny Rich, said: “The huge scale of the loss of life in the two world wars and all other conflicts is near unimaginable. It is important we come together each year to remember their sacrifice, and that of their loved ones. I felt honoured to have the privilege of laying wreaths in their memory on behalf of our borough.”
Wreaths were also sent to Barnet’s twin towns, Chaville and Le Raincy in France, as always, for their Remembrance services on Armistice Day (11 November).
