Join us as we commemorate the Fallen at Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome, in the presence of the Lord Lieutenancy of Essex.

Now an established fixture in the county Festival of Remembrance, the parade at Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome is a hugely popular event. While the event is free to attend with a ticket, we welcome donations.

We welcome ticket holders to arrive from just before 11am, although our parade will begin in the early afternoon. You can enjoy a quick visit to some of our exhibtions and perhaps grab a coffee before the event 'proper' begins.

There will be a pause, and 2 minutes silence, at 1100hrs, but please remember- our parade is in the afternoon.

You will need to be in place, parked and ready, by 1345hrs.

The Ceremony will be led by The Lord Lieutenancy of Essex - the King's Representativetative in Essex.

The Honour Party will include the Chairs of Essex County Council, Maldon District Council, The House of Commmons and representatives from Colchester Garrison.

Assembled together, the Uniformed Youth Units representing all arms will be joined by serving members of HM Forces as they pay their respects to those lost in all conflicts.

As the last remaining functioning Great War aerodrome, hosting the largest collection of Great War Royal Flying Corps buildings, Stow Maries is a poignant and appropriate place to visit for this sensitive service.

All visitors and participants not on parade will require a ticket. All those on parade will need to be in uniform.

We urge all attendees to car share!

Tickets are free but limited. Non-ticketholders will be turned away due to shortage of parking spaces.
