Field of Remembrance

Wootton-Bassett-Field-of-Remembrance-2011.jpgThe first Field of Remembrance was held in the grounds of Westminster Abbey in November 1928. That year only two Remembrance Crosses were planted. But it began a tradition that took root and has grown and grown over the decades.

Each Cross carries a personal message to someone who lost his or her life in the Service of our country.

Amanda Binnie plants a Cross in memory of her husband Sean who died while serving in Afghanistan. She finds the rituals of Remembrance are part of the healing process.

"They bring home how many people have lost their lives and how important it is that we never forget what they have done for this country."

Please click on the button below and complete the Dedication form and we will plant your Remembrance Cross in our Field of Remembrance in 2013.

  • Lydiard Park near Wootton Bassett
  • Belfast, Northern Ireland
  • Cardiff, Wales

Each is testament to the respect and gratitude felt by so many.
