Event Details

At Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome.

Join us as we commemorate the Fallen at Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome, in the presence of the Lord Lieutenancy of Essex.

We welcome ticket holders to arrive from just before 11am, although our parade will begin in the early afternoon.

You can enjoy a quick visit to some of our exhibitions and perhaps grab a coffee before the event ‘proper’ begins. There will be a pause, and 2 minutes silence, at 11:00, but please remember, our parade is in the afternoon. You will need to be in place, parked and ready, by 13:45.

 

The Ceremony will be led by The Lord Lieutenancy of Essex, the King’s Representative in Essex. The Honour Party will include the Chairs of Essex County Council, Maldon District Council, The House of Commons and representatives from Colchester Garrison. As the last remaining functioning Great War aerodrome, hosting the largest collection of Great War Royal Flying Corps buildings, Stow Maries is a poignant and appropriate place to visit for this sensitive service.

Tickets are free but limited. All visitors and participants not on parade will require a ticket.

All those on parade will need to be in uniform.
