You are warmly invited to join us at the War Memorial on Armistice Day as we come together with children from our local schools for a special Act of Remembrance.

We will gather at 10:45am, ahead of two-minute silence at 11:00am, to remember and honour all those who have served, sacrificed and given their lives in times of conflict.

Together with the children, young people and wider community, we will pause to reflect, give thanks for those who gave so much, and remember all those affected by war, whilst holding in our prayers all those who work for peace in our world today.

Everyone is welcome to join us for this important moment of remembrance.

We will remember them.
