Remembrance at Ropley’s New War Memorial

Remembrance 2026

We had our second Remembrance Sunday on 8th November 2026. We were blessed with a clear and dry day, if a little chilly. Again we were very pleased that David Ottley was able to travel from his Royal Naval Care Home to join us. 

2025 Inauguration

On Sunday 9th November 2025 Ropley was delighted to be able to use the newly installed War Memorial for our annual Remembrance Service. As part of that service the war memorial was blessed by the Revd. Amber. Everyone was also pleased to welcome David Ottley, a long term Ropley resident who was the inspiration behind the new memorial. David had made a special journey from the Royal Navy Retirement Home in Southsea where he now resides. Images from the service are available in the Gallery below.
