Details of this year's Remembrance Sunday Commemoration Services

Remembrance Sunday commemoration services will be held throughout the county on Sunday 14 November when we will honour the sacrifice made by many in defence of our country during two world wars and other conflicts over the years.


I will be laying a wreath at the memorial garden in Blackhall Colliery Welfare Park on behalf of the members of Durham County Council, and with the kind assistance of the clerk and admin staff of Monk Hesleden Parish Council Stacey and I have also arranged for a buffet to be made available at Blackhall Cricket Club immediately after the ceremony. Everyone will be made welcome, so please feel free to call into the club immediately after the service. 


My county council colleague Stacey Deinali has made similar arrangements for the Remembrance Sunday service to be held at the memorial in Hesleden, with a reception afterwards at Hesleden Workingmen's Club.
