The local branch of the Royal British Legion also will be marching to Greenford War Memorial on Greenford Broadway from its headquarters in Oldfield Lane South for a public service at 11am. This will be attended by Council Leader, Julian Bell and deputy Mayor, Councillor Tejinder Dhami.
 
A short service will take place at the war memorial on the Green in Southall, followed by a two minute silence at 11am.  The congregation will then parade through King Street into St Johns Church in Church Road for a service. This will be attended by the immediate past Mayor, Councillor Dr Patricia Walker, and the council’s chief executive, Paul Najsarek. 
 
Councillor Julian Bell said: “When you look at the many, many names carved into the borough’s war memorials it brings home to you what a sacrifice they made on behalf of their country. Remembrance Day is a chance to honour and respect that sacrifice.”
 
The Mayor and Acton Councillors will attend the Acton Hospital Remembrance service at Acton Care Centre at 3pm on Sunday, 5 November which is traditionally held a week before Remembrance Sunday.  Injured servicemen were cared for at Acton Hospital in Gunnersbury Lane, following the First World War and it later became a living war memorial.
