Invitation to World Day of Remembrance Memorial Service

Have you or someone you know experienced the devastation of a road traffic collision? Next month (November), a special memorial service to remember those who have been killed or seriously injured on our roads is being held in Northampton.

📍Where: The Holy Sepulchre Church in Sheep Street, Northampton, NN1 3NL

📅When: Sunday, November 15

🕑Time: 3pm (If you would like to attend and have something read out, please arrive at the service half an hour before it is due to start and approach the organiser who can help arrange something)

The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims is held each year as a mark of respect for those who have tragically lost their lives or suffered life-changing injuries because of their involvement in a collision.

Tragically in 2025, 26 people never returned home safely to their loved ones following a collision in Northamptonshire and 331 required urgent medical assistance for serious or life-changing injuries.

A service to remember all those killed or injured on our roads as well as those who support them will be led by Reverend Oliver Cross and Jenaya Smith at The Holy Sepulchre Church in Sheep Street, Northampton, at 3pm on Sunday, November 15.

The 60-minute service will include readings, poetry, music and an act of remembrance when photos and names of road traffic victims will be shared along with messages from loved ones who have been left behind.

Following the service there will be refreshments and an opportunity for those impacted by a road traffic collision to further commemorate their loved ones and share their experiences and stories.

Organised by Northampton road safety campaigners Nicole and Chris Taylor, who sadly lost their 18-year-old daughter Beccy in a road collision in 2008, the event is open to anyone who wishes to attend.
