We are calling on the community to honour our pride in the significant British Jewish contribution to HM Armed Forces by stepping forward in Remembrance and solidarity.
2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, a historic moment to reflect on the extraordinary service and sacrifice of Jewish men and women who fought for freedom. AJEX invites participants of all ages to join this year’s Parade as we carry forward their legacy and continue to stand together.
In recognition of this 80th anniversary year, AJEX is encouraging every marcher who has been before to bring eight new people with them - family, friends, colleagues to help grow participation and ensure that Remembrance lives on through future generations. You don’t have to have a military connection to march.
AJEX National Chair, Dan Fox, said: “This Parade is about pride not only in our past, but in who we are today. With the continued rise in antisemitism, this is the moment to show unity and strength as a Jewish community. It is our responsibility to ensure that the memory of Jewish Service continues to inspire and unite us”.
AJEX CEO, Fiona Palmer, added: “There’s never been a more important time to come together. This is the year to come forward and attend – if you are a first time marcher you won’t regret it! Make this year’s Parde the year you show up, march proud and carry our history into the future.”
AJEX is encouraging schools and youth groups to attend. Jewish schools, youth movements and cadets including JLGB and groups from JFS, JCOSS and others—will be marching proudly once again along with communities from across the UK.
To participate, book your ticket to march by Monday 4th November at www.ajex.org.uk.
AJEX also welcomes bookings for talks in schools and invites schools and nurseries to take part in our annual ‘Remember in Red’ day on Friday 14th November. Synagogues are being encouraged to hold an AJEX Shabbat on Shabbat 15th November 2025.
