Remembrance Sunday Service 2024
Thank you to everyone who joined us today at the Crewe Remembrance Sunday Service as we honoured those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. We will remember them.
We appreciate the involvement of everyone who came along to pay their respects and also the efforts of the many people who worked behind the scenes. Thank you also to Crewe Brass and theFunkyChoir.com for performing at the Service.
The Crewe Remembrance Sunday Service is organised by Crewe Town Council in partnership with the Crewe branch of the Royal British Legion.

The Crewe Poppy Project
Project background:
In 2023, we partnered with local Crewe organisation Creative Crewe to decorate our town centre with trees of poppies in the run up to the Remembrance Service. Creative Crewe spent hours co-ordinating the 2,000 poppies donated and attaching them to the tree mesh, all on a volunteer basis. It was a fantastic effort!
For Crewe Remembrance 2024, we asked Creative Crewe to arrange the sewing of the freshly-laundered poppies onto black cloth for this year’s commemorations. The poppies were then used to decorate the Unknown Soldier statue and pillars and hoops in Crewe Market Hall. Huge thanks to Creative Crewe for all their hours of hard work.
