The Parade was led by the Band of the Redhill Corps of Drums, followed by a procession of War Veterans, Councillors, Scouts, Army Cadets, Girl Guides & Brownies, local schools and other community groups and organisations marching up Victoria Road from the Royal British Legion Headquarters in Albert Road.
Royal British Legion Branch Chaplain, Reverend Canon Leslie Wells, presided over the service which was very well attended and a meaningful address was given by the President of the Horley Branch of The Royal British Legion and war veteran, David Powell. Poppy wreaths were laid at the Memorial by representatives of the Royal British Legion, local government, cadets, schools and many other community groups.
