This Remembrance Sunday, we pause to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who served in the Armed Forces, defending the freedoms we hold dear. It’s a moment to reflect on the deep gratitude we owe to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as to acknowledge the veterans among us who have selflessly served.
Across the UK, the percentage of households with a veteran living within varies by region, a testament to the breadth of service. Here’s how it breaks down by area:
- South West: 10.1%
- North East: 8.8%
- Wales: 8.1%
- East Midlands: 7.9%
- South East: 7.8%
- Yorkshire & Humber: 7.5%
- East Anglia: 7.0%
- North West: 6.9%
- Scotland: 6.7%
- West Midlands: 6.5%
- London: 2.8%
As we observe Remembrance Day, let’s take a moment to remember and thank every veteran, and those who sadly never returned, for their bravery and dedication. Each household marked here represents lives shaped by service and sacrifice, a reminder of the commitment that underpins our communities.
