Remembrance Sunday - 9th November 2025

In honour of those who have lost their lives in conflict, a Remembrance Service was held on Remembrance Sunday at the Seale War Memorial and was well attended by residents.

Wreaths were laid on behalf of the Seale and Sands Royal British Legion Branch, Seale and Sands Royal British Legion Club, Seale and Sands Parish Council, and Surrey Police.

During the service, the names of the local men commemorated on the memorial were read aloud by Mike Payne of the Seale and Sands Royal British Legion Branch, with the Exhortation read by Graham Bearham, Chairman of the Branch.

The Royal British Legion Branch has asked the Parish Council, as custodians of the memorial, for permission to add the names of two fallen servicemen whose names are currently missing. Although these have not yet been inscribed on the memorial, they are commemorated in the list below.

We will remember them.
