High Wycombe Remembrance Sunday 2026: Held on 8 November

Remembrance Sunday 2026 has now been held. The details below are what the organisers published for Sunday 8 November, kept for reference; Armistice Day follows on Wednesday 11 November.

High Wycombe’s Remembrance parade stepped off at 10.30am on Sunday 8 November 2026, heading for the main service at All Saints Church. Buckinghamshire Council listed it on 5 November among the parades across the county, alongside Marlow’s, and the Legion’s High Wycombe branch has given the time.

The quick answer

High Wycombe: Sunday 8 November, parade steps off at 10.30am from the Swan service road for the main service at All Saints Church; veterans taking part need to be there by 10.15am (Royal British Legion High Wycombe). Marlow: Sunday 8 November, 10.45am at the war memorial on The Causeway (Marlow Town Council); High Street, the bridge and The Causeway closed 8am to 12.15pm (Marlow Town Council). Princes Risborough: Sunday 8 November, procession from the library at 9.30am, service at St Mary’s at 10am, two-minute silence in the Market Square at 11am, with roads closed 9am to 11.30am (Princes Risborough Town Council). County service: Market Square, Aylesbury, 10.45am (Buckinghamshire Council).

Updated 9 November: Remembrance Sunday has passed; no Armistice Day observance is listed by Marlow or Princes Risborough town councils as of this morning.

Updated 5 November: High Wycombe’s parade time and form-up point are now published by the Legion’s branch, Marlow’s 10.45am start is on the town council’s notice, and Buckinghamshire Council has announced the county service in Aylesbury. We have found no published road closures for High Wycombe.

Updated 3 November: Marlow published its road closures and parade route: the High Street is shut 8am to 12.15pm, with no parking down to the bridge, and rolling closures on Pound Lane.

Updated 27 October: Princes Risborough published its order of events and road closures.

High Wycombe

The Royal British Legion’s High Wycombe branch says this year’s parade and service are on Sunday 8 November (Royal British Legion High Wycombe):

• 10.15am: anyone taking part in the parade needs to have arrived at the Swan service road, where it forms up. Veterans are welcome to join.
• 10.30am: the parade steps off for the main service at All Saints Church.

That is all the branch has published for 2026. It gives no route, no time for the silence and no road closures, and we have found no closure notice elsewhere, so allow extra time if you are driving into the town centre.

Last year’s notice is the best guide to the rest of the morning. On 9 November 2025 there was a march past in the High Street, then wreath laying and a two-minute silence at 11am at the war memorial at All Saints, followed by a service in the church (Royal British Legion High Wycombe). A page kept by the Mayor of High Wycombe’s office describes the same tradition, with the Mayor and an Air Officer from RAF High Wycombe taking the salute in the High Street (Mayor of High Wycombe). That page was last edited in 2010, so treat both as a description of past years, not this year’s plan.

Marlow

Marlow Town Council and the Marlow Royal British Legion hold the Ceremony of Remembrance at 10.45am on Sunday 8 November 2026 at the war memorial on The Causeway (Marlow Town Council notice). After the service the parade marches up the High Street, around the obelisk and back down to the Pound Lane car park, where it dismisses (Marlow Town Council).

The council published the closures on its Remembrance page:

• High Street closed to traffic 8am to 12.15pm, with no parking on the High Street down to the bridge. The bridge and The Causeway are closed too.
• Pound Lane, from the Malthouse Way junction to the High Street: avoid it 10.15am to 10.45am and again 11.30am to midday, when rolling closures move the parade.
• The council asks people to use the car parks and walk in.

It is also listed on the council’s events page.

Last year’s gives an idea of the format. On Sunday 9 November 2025 the parade of serving forces, veterans, the Royal British Legion, cadets, Brownies, Guides and Scouts marched from Pound Lane to The Causeway, led by the Scots Guards Association Pipe Band. The service was led by the Rev’d Sarah Jones of All Saints’ Church, and the Deputy Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire, Naomi Riches, began the wreath-laying and took the salute from a podium near the gold post box (Marlow Town Council).

The Causeway and the High Street are the places to stand, and the places not to try to drive through that morning. Our parking guide lists Marlow’s council car parks.

Princes Risborough

Princes Risborough Town Council has now published the order of the morning for Sunday 8 November 2026 (Princes Risborough Town Council):

• 9.30am: the procession leaves the library on Bell Street for St Mary’s Church.
• 10am: the Civic Service of Remembrance in St Mary’s Church, Church Street, HP27 9AA.
• 11am: everyone moves to the Market Square, HP27 0AN, for the Act of Remembrance and the two-minute silence, after which organisations lay their wreaths at the memorial.

Road closures: Duke Street, Market Square, High Street and part of Church Street are closed from 9am to 11.30am. Groups wanting to lay a wreath are asked to contact the Town Council offices; wreaths are sold through the Royal British Legion’s online shop.

The county service in Aylesbury

Buckinghamshire Council holds its own Remembrance Sunday service in Market Square, Aylesbury, at 10.45am, and says residents and visitors are welcome (Buckinghamshire Council). The council chairman, Councillor John Chilver, hosts it, and civic, civil and military dignitaries and other organisations will lay wreaths.

A lone bagpiper opens the ceremony with a lament. The Last Post, a two-minute silence and the Reveille follow.

“It is a privilege to join Buckinghamshire residents in marking Remembrance Sunday,” Councillor Chilver said. “As we observe the two-minute silence, we remember all those, and their families, who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country and we honour the dedication of those who continue to serve. Their courage, selflessness and commitment remain an inspiration to us all.”

The council’s list of local parades names High Wycombe, Marlow and Buckingham, and it asks residents to check local arrangements for other commemorations in their own communities.

Armistice Day

Armistice Day, 11 November, falls on a Wednesday this year. Neither the Marlow nor the Princes Risborough events diary listed an Armistice Day observance when we checked on 9 November.
