Remembrance Sunday is a national opportunity to remember the service and sacrifice of all those that have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.
We remember the Armed Forces, and their families, from Britain and the Commonwealth, the vital role played by the emergency services and those who have lost their lives as a result of conflict or terrorism. On Remembrance Sunday, the Lord Lieutenant of Berwickshire and her team of deputies attend Remembrance Sunday services in Eyemouth, Coldstream and Duns and throughout the county.
