Today, Haworth comes together to honour and remember those who served and sacrificed their lives in wars and conflicts.

A Remembrance Sunday service will take place at 10:50am at the War Memorial on Bridgehouse Lane Roundabout, next to our mill where we will proudly lay a wreath on behalf of Wyedean.

Our much-loved mascot, Private Parts, created by local sculptor Craig Dyson from spare parts of our weaving and braiding machinery, is also dressed for remembrance. He is proudly adorned with beautiful hand-crocheted poppies, lovingly made by Joanne, one of our talented weavers. 🌹

As we join our local community in remembrance today, we reflect with gratitude on the courage, service and sacrifice of those who came before us.

We will remember them. Lest we forget. 🌹

Honouring service. Remembering sacrifice.

On Friday 16th of October, we had the privilege of attending the ceremonial laying up of the old Colours of 43 Commando Fleet Protection Group Royal Marines at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh.

The laying up of Colours marks their retirement from active service, but their significance lives on. They carry the history, traditions and memories of the unit and those who served beneath them.

These particular Colours hold an especially poignant significance, having accompanied personnel killed in action on their final journey home during repatriation. For many, saying farewell to them was also a moment to remember fallen comrades and the sacrifices made.

Our Directors, Rosie and Susannah, alongside colleagues Melanie and Isabelle, were privileged to represent Wyedean at this deeply moving occasion.

Earlier this year, our team created the new King’s and Regimental Colours for 40, 42, 43 and 45 Commando Royal Marines. On this day, however, the focus was firmly on the old Colours of 43 Commando – reflecting on their history, their service and all they have come to represent.

A lasting legacy of service, sacrifice and remembrance.
