Remembrance Day

As we have been unable to secure the services of a band there will be no 9.00 am parade from Ivanhoe School.

For those attending the junior service at Holy Trinity Church a small parade will assemble on the Bath Grounds and march to the church via Bath Street and Kilwardby Street. This parade will leave the Bath Grounds at 9.00am prompt, ready for the 9.30am service at Holy Trinity.

A rolling road closure will be in place from 8.45am which will mean that vehicle access to Station Road will not be possible after this time.

The Annual Service of Remembrance will take place at St.Helen’s Church at 9.30am.

Following the service at St.Helen’s Church the parade will form up and leave Lower Church Street for the War Memorial in time for the Act of Remembrance and the laying of wreaths.

The route of the march will be as follows, Seniors:

• Form up in Lower Church Street;
• Turn left into Market Street down to War Memorial.

Before the main march leaves St Helen’s:

The route of the march will be as follows, Juniors:

• Turn right out of Holy Trinity down Kilwardby Street;
• Turn right into Bath Street;
• Turn left into South Street join end of the main parade.

Those laying wreaths are asked to stay with their respective groups until reaching the War Memorial where you will be directed to the appropriate area.

Please be aware that this year’s parade and service at the War Memorial will be live streamed on social media. We would, therefore, recommend that groups and organisations make participants aware of this.
