Residents of an Acton care home joined the Mayor of Ealing, Councillor Faduma Mohamed at a Remembrance service before laying wreaths at the former Acton Hospital war memorial.
The service was held at Acton Care Centre last week (1 November 2026), ahead of Remembrance Sunday on 8 November 2026. Mayor of Ealing Councillor Faduma Mohamed attended alongside Dr Rupa Huq, Labour MP for Ealing Central and Acton, and Councillors Husam Alharahsheh and Julian Gallant.
The home, which is run by Gold Care Homes, said it has held the annual service since opening in 2003. Reverend George Meyrick, from St Martin’s Church in West Acton, led the service, with the church choir and a performance by bagpiper James Reid.
Residents helped make Remembrance displays around the home. After the service, attendees laid wreaths at the Acton Hospital War Memorial.
The memorial is linked to the former hospital, which was established as a war memorial. The care home said several of its residents have military backgrounds.
Resident Jelena said: “It was lovely to be part of such a special service, and it was nice to meet the Mayor of Ealing.”
