Many Égletonnais gathered at place du Marchadial before joining the war memorial in a procession. They were accompanied by flag bearers, veterans, representatives from the gendarmerie and firefighters, as well as students from local schools. The Young Firefighters also organized a collection for the Bleuet de France.
This year's event held special significance with the participation of a substantial delegation from the Support Group of the Commissariat (GSC) of Brive-la-Gaillarde, accompanied by a flag guard. This presence notably underscored the ten years of twinning between the GSC and the City of Égletons.
Youth were central to the ceremony, illustrating the importance of remembrance. Students from primary schools, Albert-Thomas college, and Pierre-Caraminot high school participated in readings and wreath-laying. Over 180 students from the EATP performed La Marseillaise a cappella, creating a moving collective moment.
The Municipality warmly thanked all participants for their commitment and presence, reaffirming its dedication to the duty of remembrance and passing on history to younger generations.
