Civic Mayor of Croydon, Councillor Tony Pearson, said: “Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday are an opportunity for the Croydon community to remember the service and sacrifice of those who have defended our freedoms.
“We hope many of our residents will be able to join these services, so together we can pay our respects and honour those who fought for our country, and to take a moment to reflect on those continuing to be affected by conflicts across the world today.”
