The Remembrance Day is always organised on the last Sunday in April because of its proximity to the anniversary of the liberation.

  Préfet Vincent Berton laid a wreath to mark the occasion in the presence of Territorial Councillor Bernadette Davis who was representing President of the Collectivité Louis Mussington.

  Members of the Association of War Veterans of St. Martin were also present, as well as representatives of the Gendarmerie and Territorial Police.
