Nigel Farage offers to save Walton-on-the-Naze’s Remembrance Parade

The BBC was unable to determine which organization arranged the liability insurance for the previous events.

The Royal British Legion said that while its members attend and support Remembrance events, parades on public ground are civic functions and the responsibility of local authorities.

“Whilst we are happy to consult and assist the organisers, the legion is not responsible for, nor does it make any final decisions about, the organization of these events,” the charity said.

Frinton and Walton Borough Council told the BBC it had no involvement in the Remembrance Sunday parades in the town.

Tendring District Council also said it had no involvement in the Walton-on-the-Naze event, although it helped organize the Remembrance Sunday event in Clacton.

Insurance “would be the responsibility of the event organizer,” the authority added.
