Today, on VE Day, we pause to remember and give thanks for the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those who served and died during the Second World War.

As police chaplains, we honour the legacy of those who stood for peace and justice, and we stand in quiet gratitude with all who continue to serve their communities with integrity and compassion.

We will remember them.

Chaplains from Forces across the UK led small socially distanced acts of remembrance on Armistice Day 2020. Due to current restrictions large gatherings were not possible but police forces marked the important day in Covid compliant ways to ensure those that paid the ultimate price for our freedom were not forgotten.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
