Mims Davies MP joins Newick residents for Armistice Day

Mims Davies MP was honoured to join Newick residents for Armistice Day, 2026.

Today, on Armistice Day, we pause to remember all those who gave their lives and those who served to protect our freedom and future.

At the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we stand together in silence, united by gratitude, respect and remembrance.

Armistice Day reminds us not only of the sacrifices made in the past, but also of the importance of coming together as a community. It reminds us that kindness, compassion, peace and looking after one another are values worth holding on to.

Our community is stronger when we stand together, support one another and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Mims Davies MP said: "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

"I was honoured to join villagers in #Newick on The Green for Armistice Day at 11am this morning. For their Act of Remembrance alongside members of  NEASSA.

"On Armistice Day, we all prayed for the peace in the world along with many others at services across East Grinstead, Uckfield and our villages - we remembered those who gave their lives for our freedom and continue to keep us safe. 

"Two maroons were fired marking the beginning and end of the Silence and our time for reflection.

"Another poignant and heartfelt service.

"Thank you Revd Paul Mundy and to all involved for this special service for the community which was very well attended again despite the rain.

"We will remember them."
