The annual Remembrance Sunday event will see standard bearers and marching detachments muster at 10.10 a.m. from the top of the town at Co-Op. The parade will commence at 10.30 a.m., proceeding to the Parish Church for a service of remembrance and two minutes' silence around the War Memorial. Those unable to parade are asked to assemble directly at the War Memorial.
Organisations wishing to lay a wreath must contact the Town Clerk by emailing reception@sidmouth.gov.uk no later than 9 a.m. on Monday 2nd November to be included in the Order of Service. Similar events will also take place in Sidbury and Salcombe Regis.
The Council also invites residents and visitors to observe the Armistice Day national two minutes' silence on Wednesday 11th November at 11 a.m. A short procession, including standards, veterans, and service personnel, will start from the Market Place at approximately 10.50 a.m., processing to the War Memorial for a service marked by the firing of two maroons from the Church tower.
“"It is so important, particularly in these changing times, that all generations remember and honour the memory of those who served and sacrificed for our country both in the World Wars and more recent conflicts."
