The Chairman of the Council, Councillor Rob Margrave will lead a quiet and simple ceremony on the steps of Leamington Town Hall at 11am on Sunday 9 March. Members of the local community are invited to join him to reflect on shared experiences and to commemorate those who lost their lives during the pandemic.

Councillor Margrave commented:
“It’s been five years since the start of the pandemic, but the impact it had is still very vivid for many. This is an opportunity for us to come together to remember everyone who was affected locally and also to remind ourselves of the resilience of our communities, the tireless work and sacrifice of our frontline workers and kindness of volunteers during difficult times.”

The Chairman and members of the Council will meet at Leamington Town Hall from 10.30am with a short speech to be relayed from the steps ahead of a one minute’s silence at 11am when the flag will be lowered.

On 9 March the Royal Spa Centre will be illuminated in blue as a symbol of remembrance.
