Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP stands in front of a stone war memorial bearing a plaque that honours men from British Honduras who served in World War I. She is dressed all in black. Several red poppy wreaths with purple ribbons are arranged at the base, including one labelled “The President of Belize.” In the background, a flagpole, a blue-and-white building, and other attendees suggest a formal remembrance ceremony.
Labour MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy stands solemnly before a stone war memorial in a park with autumn trees, wearing a red coat and black scarf. She holds a wreath of red poppies with a green centre, bearing the gold emblem of the UK Parliament and a small attached card. The memorial is engraved with tributes to soldiers from Clapham who died in the World Wars.
A black commemorative wreath made of layered fabric petals and small central roses is held outdoors. A label reads: “Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP, Member of Parliament for Clapham & Brixton Hill. We will remember ALL of them,” emphasizing inclusive remembrance.
Three women stand in front of a red brick and white stone building, each holding a red poppy wreath with attached cards. Two wear red coats, one wears black. The wreaths bear messages from the London Borough of Lambeth and a tribute to fallen service members. Autumn leaves and other attendees in the background indicate a public remembrance event.

This year, I spent Remembrance Sunday in Barbados, one of the many Commonwealth countries that fought on Britain’s side during both World Wars. It was an honour to join commemorations in Heroes’ Square, Bridgetown. Millions of men from across the Commonwealth fought and died in both World Wars. The contribution of Commonwealth soldiers during both World Wars has long been overlooked in public commemoration, only acknowledged in recent years. True remembrance requires us to speak up for peace and insist that every human life is of equal value. We must keep speaking out against the horrors unfolding in Sudan, Gaza, Congo, Ukraine and everywhere conflict continues.

On Remembrance Sunday, elected representatives from Lambeth laid wreaths at the Town Hall and at Brixton’s African and Caribbean War Memorial to remember all those from Lambeth and around the world who fought and died in both World Wars. Thank you to Councillor Nanda-Manley Browne for laying a wreath on behalf of Clapham & Brixton Hill at this year’s local ceremonies. Ahead of this year’s Remembrance Day commemorations, I also planted a stake in Parliament’s Remembrance Garden in recognition of all those from Clapham & Brixton Hill who lost their lives, including the 133 men listed on Clapham Common War Memorial. From Brixton to Barbados, we will remember them all.
