At 9am on the morning of Thursday 8th May, there was a proclamation by the Mayor of Witham on the steps of the Town Hall and the VE Day flag was raised.
On the evening of Thursday 8th May, there was a parade from The Avenue to Chipping Hill, where there was a bar, fish and chips and a band while we awaited the lighting of the beacon at 9.30pm. The parade was led by the Essex Caledonian Pipe Band, whilst at Chipping Hill, the band was the Bocking Concert Brass Band.
On the evening of 6th June 2024, the residents of Witham came together to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings. Â Our parade, filled with members of local groups, Councillors and residents, was led by the Essex Caledonian Pipe Band from The Avenue down to the River Walk at Chipping Hill Bridge where, after a short service, a beacon was lit.
