In 2024, we are marking 80 years since D-Day on June 6th 1944, through the works of war artist Ray Howard-Jones who lived in Chiswick, and significant losses on the Home Front in Chiswick that year. See details, images and videos: Remembrance 2024: 80 years since D-Day and Chiswick’s V1 and V2 bombings.

Every November, we highlight a selection of St Michael’s Remembrance links to World War 1 and World War 2, and the 128 names on our war memorials. See their stories and pictures on our WW1 Project website, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.

In 2023 we focused on ‘Chiswick Women in War’ with an exhibition online and in the church, in memory of David Beresford, who led the WW1 Project and carried out the research.

In 2022 we marked Remembrance Day, Friday November 11th, with a reading of Cosmo’s War, a play by Bernard Adams, based on the WW1 letters of the artist Cosmo Clark to his celebrated painter father James Clark and other members of  his family at 44 Rusthall Avenue, Bedford Park. The production raise money for another veterans’ charity, Combat Stress.

2021 was the Centenary of the Royal British Legion and the Poppy Appeal. We displayed more than 500 poppies knitted by the congregation, on the Parish Memorial screen. See photos of our 2021 Remembrance Sunday Requiem Mass here and read Fr Kevin’s sermon here.
