The community is invited to the Memorial Theatre for a parade and service beginning at 10.45am. At 11am, a two-minute silence will be observed, marked by the sounding of the Last Post by cadets from the Frome Army Cadet Force. This period of reflection will encompass historical events, current conflicts, and personal memories.
The service will be accompanied by music from the Frome Town Band. Representatives of the community, led by the Chair of the Frome Branch of the Royal British Legion and Mayor of Frome, Cllr Mark Dorrington, will lay wreaths. Veterans, local groups, and residents will also lay wreaths, providing a significant opportunity for veterans to remember former colleagues and shared experiences.
“"Remembrance Sunday is a chance for us to come together as a community and honour those who served and recognise the sacrifices made by families and loved ones. Everyone is welcome to join us as we pause together in remembrance."
“"This year, many people will be remembering the service personnel and families connected to Operation Telic, as we mark 15 years since the final departure of British forces from Iraq. We remember those who lost their lives, those who returned with life-changing injuries, and the families and friends whose lives were changed forever."
The event is organised by the Frome Branch of the Royal British Legion with support from Frome Town Council. Members of the public are invited to come forward during the service to pay their respects.
