Details for Remembrance services this year shared by Royal Borough
WINDSOR: The Royal Borough has announced the procedures for this year’s Remembrance services.
Services will be taking place on Remembrance Day (Thursday, November 11) and Remembrance Sunday (November 14).
On Remembrance Day, the council is holding a short Act of Remembrance starting from 10.55am at the War Memorial outside Maidenhead Town Hall.
On Remembrance Sunday, a service will be held from 10.50am in Windsor and a two-minute-silence will be observed at 11am.
The Act of Remembrance will be led by The Mayor, Councillor John Story and those attending will observe a two-minute-silence at 11am.
The service will be held at the war memorial on Windsor High Street outside the Parish Church of St John the Baptist and will be attended by the Mayor.
Both services are organised in partnership with local branches of the Royal British Legion, who will be in attendance.
Ex-service, uniformed, and youth organisations will also be in attendance and participate in the wreath laying ceremony.
The Mayor, Councillor Story, said: “I am pleased that following last year’s restrictions, we are once again able to hold our Remembrance services in-person.
“The Royal Borough and its community have always had a strong connection to Her Majesty’s Armed Forces and the council is pleased to have a gold award as part of the Armed Forces Covenant.
“I invite all residents to attend our services if they are able to, and to join with us in remembering those who have sacrificed so much in past wars or conflicts for the freedoms that we enjoy today.”
War Dogs Remembered will be marking Armistice Day by holding a two minutes silence at their Dog Activity Trail in Victoria Park Windsor.
The registered charity was set up to pay tribute to all the dogs and their role in the military, all over the world.
Kieron Rowley will play the last post before a two minutes silence is observed at 11am.
