IN PICTURES: AJEX annual remembrance ceremony parade

The AJEX  (The Association of Jewish Ex-Servicemen and Women) held its annual remembrance ceremony parade on Sunday.

The parade includes a passing of Horse Guards Parade and a Remembrance Ceremony at the Cenotaph, led by the Chief Rabbi.

The AJEX National Chairman, Jeffrey Fox said ‘We are extremely pleased with the attendance at this year’s event. The numbers of both Marchers and spectators were significantly up on recent years and reflects the national trend to commemorate the sacrifices made in two world wars by those who paid the supreme price. The Reviewing Officer, Admiral The Lord Boyce spoke of the significant role played by Jewish Men & Women who served in the Armed Forces’

AJEX parade has drawn a huge turnout. As always it’s a deeply moving occasion honouring those who gave their lives. “We will remember them”
