Both of these services are organised in partnership with local branches of the Royal British Legion, who will be in attendance. Ex-service, uniformed, and youth organisations will also be in attendance and participate in the wreath laying ceremony.

The ceremonies will be followed by the usual church services at St Mary’s Church in Maidenhead and Windsor Parish Church.

Cllr Bateson said: “I invite all residents to attend our services if they are able to, and to join with us in remembering those who have sacrificed so much in past wars or conflicts for the freedoms that we enjoy today.
