🕯️ Remembrance Sunday 🕯️

Today, we pause to remember and honour the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Since our founding in 1848, we have stood alongside the people of York through times of both peace and conflict — and on this day especially, we reflect on the enduring spirit of remembrance that unites our community.

As the nation falls silent, we give thanks for their courage, their sacrifice, and their legacy.

“At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.”
