Royal British Legion Memorial Parade in Brighton this weekend

On Sunday 10th May, the Royal British Legion (RBL) will host a Memorial Parade through Brighton to honour those who have served in our Armed Forces. 

The Parade, which will feature around 400 members, is a highlight of the RBL’s Annual Conference, which will take place at The Brighton Centre, from Friday 8th to Sunday 10th May.

The conference offers an opportunity for RBL members to come together and learn more about the charity’s work supporting the Armed Forces community.

Beginning at 09.30am, the Parade will leave from The Brighton Centre, and make its way along the sea front, to Old Stein Circle and culminate with an act of Remembrance and wreath laying at the Cenotaph. 

The RBL’s National President, Vice Admiral Paul Bennet OBE CB and RBL’s National Chair, Lynda Atkins DL will lay a wreath, with National Vice Chair Paul Harris QGM, Mayor of Brighton Cllr Amanda Grimshaw BEM, alongside other dignitaries, also paying their respects.

The event will conclude with the Surbiton RBL Youth Band playing the Last Post.
