Ripley Remembrance 2025
The Ripley Township takes immense pride in commemorating the fallen during the Remembrance period.
This year, the Remembrance Parade will take place on Sunday 9th November 2025.
The parade will start in the Co-op Car Park on Derby Road at 1035hrs and make its way to All Saints' Church on Church Street in Ripley for a service in the Churchyard, led by Rev John Ferguson.
This service will incorporate the two-minute silence and wreath laying at the memorial.
Order of Services will be handed out before the service, however, there may not be enough to go around everyone.
Please download a copy of the Order of Service to your mobile device ahead of the service, if you are attending.
